Lyrics

You left your dishes in the sink
Piled to the brink
Really startin? to stink up the kitchen
(I mean, why don?t you just put the dishes in the dishwasher like I?ve told you 500 times before?)
And you left your yesterday?s socks and some trash and a box of French fries in the cushions of the sofa
(Do you have any idea just how disgusting it is to find someone?s crusty sock?)
You made a mess in the yard and tracked in some mud and you never cleaned it up like I asked
(It would take you five seconds. I mean, what?s the big deal? The paper towels are right there)
And I don?t like your attitude, when I ask for help I ask again and again and again and you say,
?Leave me alone, Bitch, I?m talkin? on the phone.?

You play your radio too loud, drive your car too fast, stay up way too late on a school night
(You?re gonna go deaf. And I?m gonna go deaf. And the whole neighborhood?s gonna go deaf with the subs you?ve got blasting.)
You criticize the clothes I wear, how I fix my hair, tell me that I?m just not cool.
(You don?t even know what cool is. I was cool before you were ever born, before you could even say the word COOL)
Sometimes you think you know it all, skippin? study hall, til I get a call from the teacher.
(I know you?re a sophomore. Do you know what sophomore means? Wise Fool)
I give you everything you got, flowers in a pot, dinner when it?s hot?but it really doesn?t matter cause you?re only gonna say,
?Leave me alone, Bitch, I?m talkin? on the phone.?

CHORUS
Yo Yo I thought I told you not to talk like that
Swearin? at your mama is disrespectful
I thought I told you not to talk like that
You just wait until your daddy gets home yeah

You?re upstairs playin? videos, pickin? at your nose, chattin? with your bros on the IM
(Why don?t you answer me when I yell up there? Am I gonna have to go up those steps again?)
And I?m downstairs cleanin? up the mess, by myself I guess, thinkin? that it just ain?t right
(Me! Me! It?s always me! Nobody does any work around here but me!)
I need to turn this thing around, pin you to the ground, push the metal down to the floor board
(Listen, Son. I brought you into this world. Surely I can take you out.)
And I don?t like your attitude, when I ask for help I ask again and again and again and you say,
?Leave me alone, Bitch, I?m talkin? on the phone.?

CHORUS 2
Yo Yo I thought I told you not to talk like that
Swearin? at your mama is disrespectful
I thought I told you not to talk like that
You?ll be out on the street in the cold and the heat, Boy
I thought I told you not to talk like that
You?re a clever fella better watch your language
I thought I told you not to talk like that
You just wait until your daddy gets home yeah

(So, you wanna play Scrabble with me? I?ll let you go first?. What? You?re going out? Did you finish your homework? Where? re you going this time? Do you have your jacket? I don?t know where it is. Where did you leave it last? No, I didn?t put it in the washer yet. You gotta have your jacket?it?s cold out there. You could catch pneumonia. Here?you can borrow mine. So, when will you be back? Okay, Honey. Please be careful. Call me when you get there. I love you, too.)
