Lyrics
My mother writes me notes reminding me to smile
My dad's always changing the words to something vile.
Then my sister said to me she's proud of how I say,
"Everybody's normal in their own unusual way."
Today I got it figured out,
Today I know what it's all about,
I think I got it figured out this time.
Can't say I know what's up next;
Tomorrow's anybody's guess,
But I think I got it figured out this time.
(At least for today.)
My sister chases girls, my dog's afraid of cats.
Mom always hits the garage door. What's the deal with that?
But I'm finally standing firm, my feet on solid ground;
I may not have felt this way without the friends I've found.
Today I got it figured out,
Today I know what it's all about,
I think I got it figured out this time.
Can't say I know what's up next;
Tomorrow's anybody's guess,
But I think I got it figured out this time.
(At least for today.)
I know sometimes my family seems a little strange,
But by comparison to me, they're pretty sane,
& you know I wouldn't have it any other way,
'Cause now I think I've got it figured out today,
Figured out today.
Today I got it figured out,
Today I know what it's all about,
I think I got it figured out this time.
Can't say I know what's up next;
Tomorrow's anybody's guess,
But I think I got it figured out.
Today I know what it's all about,
I think I got it figured out this time.
Can't say I know what's up next;
Tomorrow's anybody's guess,
But I think I got it figured out this time.
(At least for today.)
