I just heard this
rumor about me.
It’s kinda funny,
the things I just learned about myself.
People slander me,
at every chance they get.
First impressions are made before
we’ve even met.
Verse 2
My reputation
isn’t the best.
I can’t undo what I’ve done,
so don’t put my past to the test.
If you’re so much “better than me”,
Why waste your time with your chronic gossiping?
Here’s my advice.
Chorus
Just shut your mouth.
Didn’t your mom teach you?
“If you can’t say something nice,
don’t say anything at all!”
You must be bored,
with your lame, pathetic lives
if you get a rise,
out of spreading all of your lies.
(Get a rise out of all your lies)
Verse 3
Relationships should stay between just two,
and not involve all of our friends,
the ones who talk smack to me and you.
Then I’d worry less what’s said behind my back.
So before you start a rumor,
You’d better check your facts.
Oh you’d better check your facts.
Chorus
Then shut your mouth.
Didn’t your mom teach you?
“If you can’t say something nice,
don’t say anything at all!”
You must be bored,
with your lame, pathetic lives
if you get a rise,
out of spreading all of your lies.
Bridge
What did I do?!
To offend you?!
(Ooooh, oooooh)
How can you really hate me?
Cause’ I can’t recall ever speaking
two words to you!
(Ooooh oooooh)
(I can’t recall ever speaking
two words to you.)
Build
Don’t say anything at all.
Chorus
Shut your mouth!
Didn’t your mom teach you?
“If you can’t say something nice,
don’t say anything at all!”
Just shut your mouth
You’re on my last nerve.
Just say one more word,
And it will come back to bite you!
