I cut my bangs

with some rusty

kitchen scissors

I screamed his name

till the neighbours

called the cops

I numbed the pain

at the expense of my liver

don'’t know what

I did next all I know

I couldn'’t stop

Word got around

to the barflies

and the baptists

My Mama’'s phone

started ringin'’

off the hook

I can hear her now

sayin'’ she ain’'t

gonna have it

Don’'t matter how

you feel it

only matters

how you look

Go and fix your make up

girl it’'s just a break up

run and hide your crazy

and start actin'’ like a lady

'cause I

Raised you better gotta

keep it together

even when you fall apart

but this ain'’t

my Mama’'s broken heart

I wish I could be

just a little less dramatic

like a Kennedy

when Camelot

went down in flames

Leave it to me to be

holdin’' the matches

when the fire trucks

show up and there'’s

nobody else to blame

Can’'t get revenge

and keep a

spotless reputation

sometimes revenge is

a choice you gotta make

My Mama came from

a softer generation

where you get a grip

and bite your lip

just to save a little face

Go and fix your make up

girl it'’s just a break up

run and hide your crazy

and start actin'’ like a lady

'cause I

Raised you better gotta

keep it together

even when you fall apart

but this ain’'t

my Mama’'s broken heart

Powder your nose

paint your toes

line your lips

and keep 'em closed

Cross your legs

dot your i’s

and never let 'em

see you cry

Go and fix your make up

girl it'’s just a break up

run and hide your crazy

and start actin’' like a lady

'cause I

Raised you better gotta

keep it together

even when you fall apart

but this ain'’t

my Mama’'s broken heart
