My Stupid Mouth | John Mayer

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, another 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 shaker
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 again.
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 again
It only hurts me
I’d rather be a mystery
Than she desert me


Oh I’m never speaking up again
Starting now… 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 want to be liked
I just want to be funny
Look like the joke’s on me
So call me Captain Backfire

I know it’s not cool to like John Mayer or anything, but I love everything about this song and therefore cannot quite summon up the raging hate that the rest of the world has for him.

He is a great songwriter!
