My Stupid Mouth Audra McDonald

My stupid mouth has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
I could see he was offended
He 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 girl to do?
Guess she better find one soon

We bit our lips, looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess
With the salt and pepper shaker
I could see clearly an indelible line was drawn
Between what was good
What just slipped out, and what went wrong

Oh, the way he 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 girl to do?
I guess she'd better find one
