You can need me, if you want to You can want me, sometimes you're gonna need to But if you love me, please don't tell me I'll just open my mouth & foul things up again I wish I was a dam (instead of a damn fool) Then I'd be able to hold back & steady the flow of ignorance that trickles from my lips Remember last time, everything was roses You heard it through the grapevine
My heart was in the right place I must admit, it was, so then what was I thinking of When I opened my mouth & fouled things up again So you can be with me, and I'd rather you were here with me Or you can feel free to find that shelter somewhere else But just don't pay no mind, and won't it be a big surprise When I open my mouth & foul things up again
