“My Stupid Mouth” details a date gone horribly wrong, when Mayer said something that his date took offense of and possibly ruined his chances of a relationship with her. He knows he’s in the wrong and is hoping that she can forgive him for this moment.
An acoustic version was first included on John...
[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Just want to be funny
Looks like the joke's on me
So call me Captain Backfire
[Chorus]
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
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now
