Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I cut my bangs
With some rusty kitchen scissors
I screamed his name
Till the neighbors called the cops
I numbed the pain
At the expense of my liver
Don't know what I did next
All I know, I couldn't stop
[Verse 2]
Word got around
To the barflies and the Baptists
My mama's phone
Started ringing off the hook
I can hear her now saying
She ain't gonna have it
Don't matter how you feel
It only matters how you look
[Chorus]
Go and fix your make up, girl
It's just a break up
Run and hide your crazy
And start acting like a lady
'Cause I raised you better
Gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart
[Verse 3]
I wish I could be just a little less dramatic
Like a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames
Leave it to me to be holding the matches
When the fire trucks show up, and there's nobody else to blame
Can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
Sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
My mama came from a softer generation
Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face
[Chorus]
Go and fix your make up, girl
It's just a break up
Run and hide your crazy
And start acting like a lady
'Cause I raised you better
Gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart
[Bridge]
Powder your nose, paint your toes
Line your lips and keep 'em closed
Cross your legs, dot your I's
And never let 'em see you cry
[Chorus]
Go and fix your make up, well
It's just a break up
Run and hide your crazy
And start acting like a lady
'Cause I raised you better
Gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart
