Lyrics

Me and my baby don't always see eye to eye
whatever I do she always asks why
To maintain the peace, I've got to comply
If I start a fight i'll be the bad guy
the look on her face is like a punch in my gut
so I better keep my big mouth shut

When I go to work I know what to do
But my boss says to me you don't have a clue
I'm trying real hard to keep my cool
cause deep down inside i'm nobody's fool
the answer to the problem might be clear cut
but I gotta keep my big mouth shut

Hanging out at the bar, and you're talkin to me
I'll shake my head to show I disagree
by that look on your face, you think that I'm nuts
so I better keep my big mouth shut

I'm always trying to help, not undercut
though I might be preening. like a rooster can strut
I think it's cool but you might think it's just smut
and sometimes I need a good kick in the butt
One thing i've learned after all these years
is I gotta keep my big mouth shut

I might be right, no ifs, ands or buts
but I gotta keep my big mouth shut
