Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT
( Female Version )
Copyright © 2005 - mickterry.com

Awkward moments,
like thinking that two women are a mother & a daughter
& saying something like that when you really shouldna-oughtna.
Only to discover that the one you thought the mother
was really just a single year- younger than the other.

Awkward moments,
like meeting your new in-laws just before the pending wedding,
you've promised your fiancé not to say something upsetting.
Only to be asking where their son got all his freckles,
not knowing that the milkman was an issue never settled.

    OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT, chew well
    with FOOT in MOUTH when you'd rather run like hell.

Awkward moments,
like seeing red lights flashing in the distance in your mirror,
& trying to outrun them, but they're only getting nearer.
Telling cops you're sorry that you were not thinking clearer,
but this only seems to happen when you've had 3 extra beers.-

    CHORUS

        You wish you'd disappear when you find yourself
        in times like these.
        But you find that you're right here with no protective shell
        with foot-in-mouth disease.

Awkward moments,
now you've got a brand new boyfriend & he's taking you to dinner.
You're trying to impress him that he's found himself a winner.
In the fancy rest'rant, you run into your old ex-,
& you ask him if he's still got all your hickeys on his neck.

    CHORUS

Awkward moments,
like admitting to yourself your best friend's got an ugly baby.
There's no 2 ways about it: there's no ifs or buts or maybes.
Blurting what you're thinking, now you're feeling like a donkey,
saying, "Would you like some milk or a banana for your monkey?

    CHORUS
