verse 1
I tend to vent a lot. it's hard to end a thought
I get pent up and I guess I don't know when to stop
if i get a mental block, you can hear a pencil drop
but if not i'm all talk like a rent a cop
I don't wanna mock
ever yet I let it slip
said i gotta get a grip
cause i know you're delicate
and i'm pretty adament
i can learn some ettiquette
bet on it that i can talk a book and never edit it
seldom elegant, guilty of embellishing
yelling but i'm holding sh** together like i'm gelatin
everyone's selfish and jealous, I'm hella slim
but I gotta bigger mouth than a pelican
check a fella sing, messing up the melody
I know my alphabet, A to Elemopee
i like you, it's shouldn't be shocking
my heart's beating just as loud as i'm talking
chorus
Danny: I know you know
I know you know
sometimes I say things
I don't quite mean
George: don't be alarmed
I mean no harm
Danny: Ca-a-a-a-an't I run my mouth? verse 2
i'm a fast talker
louder than a bra** knocker,
cricket or a gra**hopper
not another. word
i don't want to a** kiss
sniffing like a mastiff
that'll be my last ditch
effort to be. heard
take me as a hostage
i'm feeling lost
with my neck out like an ostrich
totally absurd
I squawk like a bird
cause my clumsy heart feels like it's doing cartwheels
put me in a dunce cap
treat me like a hunchback
say my mind is one track
every single. day
call my mug a megaphone
I don't beg and moan
if i get in bed alone
i don't want to say
you're forgiven briefly
if i call you sweet pea
then you say to eat me
and i don't know which way
i've had a taste and i know you're gourmet
An argument's just the makeup foreplay
chorus
George:
Bridge
Danny: Listen
calm down
hear me
watch your mouth
Careful
that stung
give me lip
Bite my tongue
I'd say
stop it (that)
but we both
talk sh** (trash)
How about we work it out?
(repeat) Chorus after Bridge
Danny: You know, I know
You know I know
Sometimes You say things
You don't quite mean
George: I'm not alarmed
If you mean no harm
Danny: Go ahead and ru-u-un your mouth chorus verse 3
take the silent type, gimme the opposite
you look so damn s**y when you're talking sh**
every time i want to say to put a sock in it
i melt again and buy your a** a box of chocolate
i guess that's why they call me georgie porgie puddin pie
before i kiss my girl i put her on a sugar high
and then we cry after a little old 'how are you?'
turns into an argument I bet'll scar you
is it hard to always have to complain
taking something mundane and give yourself a tongue sprain?
you talk about your day and go off for a year
and i could walk away or hold the phone off of my ear
I don't love what i hear, but i've got to stay
cause man, smart girls have a lot to say
i want to shout with someone that i'm down with
there's no one I'd rather run my mouth with chorus (fade out)
