oh, i can't believe i said those words...me and my big mouth
no matter how much i explained, still i kept on sinking down
i didn't mean it that way, but it's to late to take it back
i said "i'm sorry" and you said, "what good does that do me?"
those things you say...they'll get you in trouble
you better think it out...before you open your mouth
those things you say....they'll get you in trouble
try to use a little tact, or else you might get smacked
i loved a girl who promised me the world, slightly over a million times
she never lived up to her word, even when I kept mine
and when i asked her she would say "i can't believe you think i'd lie"
i said "well I don't want these promises cause they're only promises"
those things you say...they'll get you in trouble
you better think it out...before you open your mouth
those things you say....they'll get you in trouble
when you're promising the world, you may be writing checks that you can't cash
i saw a sliver of the moon through a window of your room
it made me shiver inside
clothesless and venemous I sucked the venom inside
and when the wind blew the word down the street then I heard
that i'm not the only one who sucked the poison from your tongue
those things you say...they'll get you in trouble
you better think it out...before you open your mouth
those things you say...they'll get you in trouble
you better think it out...before you open your mouth
you better think it out...you better think it out...
