Mom and Dad are always right and I am always wrong
They tell me that I eat too much and that I take too long
My grades at school aren't good enough, I don't do what I should
They tell me that I'm pretty dumb, I guess I'm not so good
They yell at me and tell me that I disobey their rules;
I sleep too much, I miss the bus, I'm always late for school
When we go out to dinner, I always spill my drink
I drop my spoon and spill my soup; was born this was they think
Dad says he was stronger when he was half my age
Mom never got dirty when she went out to play
I guess they both were perfect kids when they were young like me;
They always did what they were told and that's how I should be
I guess I'm just a naughty boy--that's what they always say
Then they wonder why it is that I turned out this way
But you can't be perfect all the time--you can't always be good
Everybody makes mistakes and everybody should
Mom and Dad aren't always right and I'm not always wrong
I don't think that I eat too much or that I take too long
And one thing that I know for sure that they don't understand;
I'm smarter than my Mommy and Daddy think I am
Mom says that I'm clumsy and I'm just a little brat;
Somehow I accidentally spill my milk into her lap
Dad says I'm no help at all--I just get in his way;
So when I should be helping him, I go outside and play
