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 dyin' for a subject change"

Oh, it's 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
Rollin' 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 speakin' 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 wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain Backfire

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

I'm never speaking up again it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I'm never speakin' up again
I'm never speakin' up again, I'm never speakin' up again
Starting now, starting now
