Have I Mentioned Lyrics

Have I Mentioned lyrics

Have I Mentioned

 

 You're like that cat

 I almost hit with my car

 That as much as I hate cats

 I had to slam on the brakes

 Then

 Took one more look around

 Realized what I'm doing just isn't right

 That even if no one's lookin'

 I should be a good girl anyway

 

 I was going out

 To ride my bike today

 But it's a little too chilly this morning

 Wouldn't you agree?

 Besides

 I'd just come past 

 About a couple doaen times

 Before you'd look out and see me

 And I'd break down and cry

 

 Have I mentioned 

 I paint my toenails purple still

 Your favorite color

 Or that I tried 

 To dye my hair to blond

 One time you'd asked me to

 Or that I still smoke

 Like a chimney

 Though you begged me to stop

 And here I am

 In some strange way

 Still trying to change to be your girl.

 

 I won't change to be your girl

 

 I'm sorry

 I called your house today

 I wasn't thinking when it rang 5 times

 Then left a message with your mom

 Though

 I don't regret it

 Not like the nights when we would fight

 I'd go out drinking with my friends

 You know they like how I dance and sing

 

 Have I mentioned 

 I wear my dresses longer now

 You woulda' liked that

 Or that I laid off

 The karaoke bars

 You always hate when I perform

 Or that I drink 

 Like a fish still

 My liver thanks me

 And here I am

 In some strange way

 Still trying to change to be your girl

 

 I won't change to be your girl

 

 When I'd talk about my big dreams

 You'd smile condescendingly

 And assure me that one day honey

 I'd have to grow up, too

 When I'd talk about the future

 And you'd decry my age again

 And you'd promise me that years of pain

 Would make me bitter, too

 

 Have I mentioned 

 I'm at the big kids table now

 You coulda' joined me

 Or that the pain

 Has made me stronger

 I'm really good at bouncing back

 Or that Mary Jane still comes to visit

 I know you hate her

 And here I am

 In some strange way

 Still trying to change to be your girl

 

 I won't change to be your girl

 

 I'll never be your girl again

 

 I'd never change to be your girl.
