John Mayer - My Stupid Mouth Lyrics






My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change

Oh, it's another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said, "Think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again
How could I forget?
Mama said, "Think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
Just wanna be liked
Just wanna be funny
Looks like the joke's on me
So call me "Captain Backfire"

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh, I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now

  17. D.... S....

    This was actually my favorite song from his first album - man, he had a pretty good thing going on with this album. Such laid back melodies and storyline lyrics. :)

  18. G.... ....

    Lets all admit it, this is our go to song when we do something fucking stupid

  19. a.... m....

    apperantly sometimes it feels like I have no thoughts!!!

  20. T.... ....

    I just had a fight with my girlfriend over something stupid that I started. This song describes me perfectly.....

  21. B.... T....

    My stupid mouth has brought me back to this song once again 😞....

  22. E.... Y....

    Mayer’s song always fits perfectly in my everyday life

  23. E.... Y....

    Mayer’s song always fits perfectly in my everyday life

    The way he feels about me has changed, thanks for playin try again, mama said think before speakin

  27. C.... S....

    Another derivative post of the lyrics for the sole purpose of getting likes.

    C.... S....

    Shut your stupid mouth.

  28. w.... ....

    Tfw when shuffle plays 'Say' right after this song

  29. j.... ....

    Well, that's a sure way to save time so you can "weed out the chaff from the wheat".

    Is true. If a couple disagrees on matters of religion or politics (or pretends to agree, but holds the opposite opinion so as to deceive), they can assuredly expect these differences to rapidly increase in weight, before crushing their relationship like the bones of Salem witch trial victim, Giles Corey, waa crushed under the stones that pressed him to death

    I don't know why I'm writing. I'm half sleeping.

  30. V.... R....

    This song is the story of my life. Me and my stupid mouth.

  31. U.... T....

    The nice guy anthem !

  32. A.... C....

    Sums up my entire highschool years

  33. W.... R....

    I'd be honored if some old-school John Mayer fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital stuff. Thanks and peace out.

  34. M.... ....

    Any poor bastards actually experienced this song in real life, like I did?

    Dude... this takes me back. Playing my Dreamcast, thinking about girls in my high school, and fumbling around on my guitar (I eventually got pretty good). Damn how time flies.

  41. R.... ....

    I think you could pair this song with "King of Anything" by Sara Bareilles and it'd actually make sense.

  49. B.... M....

    Jonn Mayer is my favorite band

  50. W.... ....

    God, this song speaks to me right now in a different sense... told a girl I loved her, but I regret it, if I could have preserved the friendship and time we had left... I'm trying act like nothing happened but I can tell things aren't the same anymore

  51. M.... S....

    For a long time I thought he said "I said to my chicken" instead of "I said too much again" lol

  52. A.... C....

    *Can someone make a loop in which the sing doesn't end, it just goes back to "...one more thing,"*

    A.... C....

    Asia C Level And 😂😂 omg yes

  53. W.... R....

    Aww..the way she feels about me's changed"..."I'm never speaking up again, it only hurts me"...

  59. C.... ....

    My stupid mouth has got me in trouble;
    I said too much again
    To a date over dinner yesterday.

    How could I forget?

    She looked out the window,
    Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper.
    I played a quick game of chess
    With a salt and pepper shaker.

    And I can see clearly

    Between what was good,

    And what went wrong.

    W.... ....

    shhhhhhhhhhhhh

  67. P.... 9....

    Memories from being a kid in the early 2000s. After a day of playing with my neighborhood friends Id come home for dinner and my mom would usually have this playing. Good times...

    P.... 9....

    Good mom ;)

    P.... 9....

    Mgo BLUE I think I'd like your mom. ;) And, I thought kids stopped playing outside in the early 90's??? I'm a child of the 80s

    P.... 9....

    This was a driving song from my mom before double-digit ages.... :,)

    P.... 9....

    I'm jealous of that tbh

    P.... 9....

    I'd always hear this on car rides. I liked it back then, got into crazy heavy music since, and I appreciate this much more now 🙂

  68. K.... W....

    One more thing....


    yeah dude. yeah.

  69. k.... v....

    Mr. Mayer has got chops young'uns. He's Not a personality. He's a major R & B and R & R star.

    GOT IT?

    I'm 61 yrs old and I've heard a few guitarists in my life, like Harrison, Clapton, King's of R & B, Robert Johnson, Page, Krieger, Hendrix, Mick Taylor, Jimmy Page, Slash, CLAPTON, BB King, Freddie King & Albert King.

    HAVE U MORONS???????

    k.... v....

    +kirk johnwiggle Clapton, who is one of the best on that list has said himself that John Mayer is a master of the guitar. You obviously have NO IDEA about guitar, and you only LISTEN to guitarists. If you knew anything about anything you'd know how incredibly talented John Mayer is. You think you're cool because you've listened to good artists, when in reality you're just the same as the rest of us. You're not special.

    k.... v....

    +Ayman Elbachiri 👍

    k.... v....

    +Ayman Elbachiri youre an idiot l..do you know what chops means??

  70. Z.... C....

    i listen to this song when i say something stupid

    Z.... C....

    this is why I am here. 😂

    Z.... C....

    That’s stupid.

  71. X.... S....

    minha musica!!

  72. h.... k....

    This song is beautiful

  73. j.... ....

    This song is so fucking good. Everyone knows john mayer is a musical genius. Melodically and lyrically. The lyrics in this song are incredible. They rhythm and fit perfectly with the song. Only years later do i realize how great lyrically this song really is. anyone who is a songwriter would realize it too. " I mean who do you not hear lyrics like " ohhh.. its another social causality, score one more more me" or the way she feels about me's changed, thanks for playing, try again. Honestly all the lyrics are spot on

    j.... ....

    Yes. All of this. A literal perfect songwriting accomplishment.

    j.... ....

    lol love the sarcasm in this comment that I bet went over 80% of youtube! Amy Wright sarah?

    j.... ....

    @Mazin If he's being sarcastic, he's doing a bad job.

  74. L.... E....

    Whom.
    Object pronoun.

  75. D.... P....

    I haven't heard this song in years. A lot has changed, but I still have a stupid mouth.

    D.... P....

    Daryl Parkin ... "think before speaking." That helps me with my stupid mouth sometimes =/

    D.... P....

    Daryl Parkin #wazzup

    D.... P....

    Back when this album came out, having a stupid mouth could stop you from becoming President! Can you imagine??

  76. O.... ....

    My mouth got me in trouble too today with this girl. I'm telling you guys, always gotta be careful with girls especially bitches. Never argue with them. Know in advance who to spend your energy with, because its precious and you dont want to waste it.

    O.... ....

    @Caio Lins
    Why is it my fault!! hehehe

    O.... ....

    Then I say, don't mark them as "bitches" listen then to Daughters song...

    O.... ....

    Saying your mouth got you in trouble implies that you said something you shouldn't have, in which case, it's really no one but your own's fault.

    O.... ....

    @Chany Msp
    Well some people are toxic and can over react over something which truly shouldnt be the case. These people who love drama will use any opportunity to have a fight.

    O.... ....

    Which is why you should just avoid them. Give them a second thought and they're going to assume they have some sort of hold on you.

  77. B.... G....

    Listening to it for my son's drumming lesson -- he is listening for the cymbal changes :-D

  78. B.... C....

    This song is the story of my life!!!! 🙌but hey, its MY STUPID MOUTH...

  79. t.... ....

    Deegan <3

    t.... ....

    Oq o Deegan tem a ver com essa música?

    t.... ....

    Se é q eu me lembre kkk porq foi a 10 meses q comentei isso, o Deegan falou essa música em algum vlog, ele comentou essa musica no twitter ou cantou ela

  80. J.... C....

    a.... ....

    a.... ....

    sure thing!

    a.... ....

    he's making an appeal to the girl that his slipups were caused by his eagerness for her to like him. aww such great storytelling

    a.... ....

  82. C.... M....
