Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go on and wring my neck
Like when a rag gets wet
A little discipline
For my pet genius
My head is like lettuce
Go on, dig your thumbs in
I cannot stop giving
I'm thirty-something
[PreChorus]
Sense of security
Like pockets jinglin' (Midlife crisis)
Suck ingenuity
Down through the family tree
[Chorus]
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me, you're only you (You're only you)
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleedin' enough for two
[Refrain]
It's a midlife crisis
It's a midlife crisis
[Verse 2]
What an inheritance
The salt and the Kleenex
Morbid self-attention
Bending my pinky back
A little discipline
A donor by habit
A little discipline
Rent an opinion
[PreChorus]
Sense of security
Holding blunt instrument (Midlife crisis)
I'm a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee
[Chorus]
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me, you're only you (You're only you)
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleedin' enough for two
[Refrain]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
[Refrain]
It's a midlife crisis
It's a midlife crisis
[Chorus]
You're perfect, yes, it's true, but without me, you're only you (Go on and wring my neck, like when a rag gets wet, go on and wring my neck)
Your menstruating heart, it ain't bleedin' enough for two (Go on and wring my neck, like when a rag gets wet)
You're perfect, yes, it's true, but without me, you're only you (You're only you) (Go on and wring my neck, like when a rag gets wet, go on and wring my neck)
Your menstruating heart, it ain't bleedin' enough for two (Go on and wring my neck, like when a rag gets wet)
You're perfect, yes, it's true, but without me, you're only you (You're only you) (Go on and wring my neck, like when a rag gets wet, go on and wring my neck)
Your menstruating heart, it ain't bleedin' enough for two (Go on and wring my neck, like when a rag gets wet)
You're perfect, yes, it's true, but without me, you're only you (You're only you)
