| I’ll never grow up, I won’t try
|
| I can live with that, don’t ask why
|
| I am resigned that this is me
|
| If I can take it, why can’t she?
|
| I am bad at my best, but she will not accept that
|
| I can’t get away with things I might regret
|
| She makes me get started when nothing’s ever through
|
| And I do the best that I can do but
|
| Mimi gets mad when I make her wait
|
| Mimi gets mad when I phone too late
|
| But then Mimi gets sad if I hurt myself
|
| Can’t say that about nobody else
|
| Someone should tell her honestly
|
| She is a fool to count on me
|
| I swore there would be no delay
|
| I should have been here yesterday
|
| So I sneak in the door and there she is again
|
| She could squeeze off a shot just as soon as look at me
|
| She don’t say a word and every word is true
|
| And if that’s the best that I can do then
|
| Mimi gets mad every time I’m wrong
|
| Mimi gets mad when I sleep too long
|
| But then Mimi gets glad when I do my share
|
| See no smile but I know it’s there
|
| Mimi gets mad when I make her wait
|
| Mimi gets mad when I phone too late
|
| But then Mimi gets sad if I hurt myself
|
| Can’t say that about nobody else
|
| There must be a dozen other boys
|
| She could give her anger to
|
| I’m the only one, it doesn’t matter what I do
|
| It’s not very pretty but it’s absolutely true
|
| That I’m still the best that she can do so
|
| Mimi gets mad when I make her wait
|
| Mimi gets mad when I phone too late
|
| But then Mimi gets sad if I hurt myself
|
| Can’t say that about nobody else
|
| Mimi gets mad every time I’m wrong
|
| Mimi gets mad when I sleep too long
|
| But then Mimi gets glad when I do my share
|
| See no smile but I know it’s there
|
| Must be a dozen other boys
|
| She could give her anger to
|
| I’m the only one, doesn’t matter what I do… |
