Think I just remembered something I think I left the faucet running Now my words are filling up the tub Darling, you're just soaking in it But I know you'll get out the minute You notice all your fingers pruning up I'm tired of being careful, gentle, trying to keep the water warm Let me under your skin Uh-oh, there it goes, I said too much, it overflowed Why do I always spill? I feel it coming out my throat Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap God, I wish I never spoke Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap I feel it coming out my throat Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap God, I wish I'd never spoke Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap Think I got myself in trouble So I fill the bath with bubbles Then I'll put the towels all away Should've never said the word "love" Threw a toaster in the bathtub I'm sick of all the games I have to play I'm tired of being careful, gentle, trying to keep the water warm Let me under your skin Uh-oh, there it goes, I said too much, it overflowed Why do I always spill? I feel it coming out my throat Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap God, I wish I never spoke Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap I feel it coming out my throat Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap God, I wish I'd never spoke Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap I feel it coming out my throat Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap God, I wish I never spoke Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap I feel it coming out my throat Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap God, I wish I'd never spoke Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap
