My stupid mouth Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see she was offended
She said "well anyway "
Just dying for a subject change
Oh, a - nother social casualty Score one more for me
How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon
We bit our lips she looked out the window rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shak - er
And I could see clearly an indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try a -gain.
How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one
I'm never speaking up a - gain
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a myste - ry
Than she de - sert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
One more thing why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked, I just wanna be fun - ny
Looks like the jokes on me, so call me captain backfire
I'm never speaking up a - gain
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a myste - ry
Than she de - sert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
