I know a lot about a little bit
Some say I know everything about nothing
I don't know much about etiquette
But I never mean to be rude  
Like the time I got a birthday gift
But I already had something like it
So I said that I will probably list
That thing for sale real soon

I need to shut my mouth
Stop rocking the boat
I need to figure out
When silence is gold
Before I dig a hole and lose control
Fall in and can’t get out
I need to shut my mouth
Find a filter for my words
To bail me out

Another time I was invited
To a gender reveal party for new parents
On the way I picked up the cake
Then I told them I hope you like blue
And one time at a wedding banquet
They served me food and I said didn’t like it
So I took out a candy bar instead
And ate it in everyone's view

I need to shut my mouth
Stop rocking the boat
I need to figure out
When silence is gold
Before I dig a hole and lose control
Fall in and can’t get out
I need to shut my mouth
Find a filter for my words
To bail me out

Don’t mean nothing by it
Usually I am quiet
But today I’m gonna speak my mind
If it gets me in trouble
Pour a drink on the double
Might as well have a good time
I will pay for this later
Get treated like a traitor
Who committed a heinous crime
When will I realize? 

I need to shut my mouth
Stop rocking the boat
I need to figure out
When silence is gold
I need to shut my mouth
Stop rocking the boat
I need to figure out
When silence is gold
Before I dig a hole and lose control
Fall in and can’t get out
I need to shut my mouth
Find a filter for my words
To bail me out
