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
I'm never speaking up again, it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than he desert me

Oh, I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now

One more thing: why is it my fault?
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 joke's on me
So call me "Misses Backfire"

I'm never speaking up again, it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than he desert me

Oh, I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
