Lyrics

Am E7	It's time I laid it on the line
C D	You know I think you are just fine
F C	But even if we start out right we'll
Dm E	end up wrong
Am E7	You know I have to leave you here
C D	And find someone with a career
F C	And don't you know my mother made me
F G	write this song

Am E7	Hypocrisy comes hard to me
C D	But it's expected, don't you see
F C	If only I had paid attention
Dm E	all along...
F C G

How many times must I repeat

You don't know how to be discreet

And don't you know my mother made me write this song

F  C  E7			

Dm A	Your shoes aren't tied, your clothes are wrong
C6 G	You think too much, your hair's too long
Bb F	You don't know when to stop thinking of the
Gm A	reasons you shouldn't just quietly go along
Dm A	...I can't get through to you
C6 G	Now what the hell am I gonna to do
Bb F	My mother warned me about people like you
Gm A7

Won't you please cooperate

It's time to go now we'll be late

I always get the blame for when we take too long

This only proves what I was told

You'll have regrets when you get old

And don't you know my mother made me write this song

You act too weird, your shirt's untucked

I feel confused, my life is fucked

I'm way too tired to reconstruct

The reasons for this mess

You don't belong here in this place

It's all my fault, a great disgrace

I just can't go back home to face

My family's distress
