Aimee Mann - Stupid Thing lyrics

there was nothing to say,

but you said something anyway

claiming I stepped out of line

which forced you to leave me

as if that idea was mine.

Oh, you stupid thing

speaking of course as your dear departed

oh, you stupid thing

it wasn't me that you

outsmarted

oh, you stupid thing

stopping it all

before it even started.

I bet you knew it would come

that's just like you, to sit back

and just play it dumb

one word of warning would help

but that sacrifice was made

trying to save yourself

Oh, you stupid thing

speaking of course as your dear departed

oh, you stupid thing

it wasn't me that you

outsmarted

oh, you stupid thing

stopping it all

before it even started.

Maybe that's just how I am

to fall where I stand, or

I'm weak for that kind of man

one who looks helpless and brave

but you turned into a coward

I don't care for the parts you saved.

You stupid thing

speaking of course as your dear departed

oh, you stupid thing

it wasn't me that you outsmarted

Oh, you stupid thing
