lyrics

I'm on my way to your house
To your home
Thinking about what I'm gonna say
When I get you alone
I make up things that I know just won't suffice
And all in the name of trying to be nice

You'll say I'm nice enough
For both of us
And I'll tell myself
Before going up

You better watch your mouth
You don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than you first thought or first heard in your head

Rejoices and hallelujah
When I get straight down to ya
When I get outta my head and start the fun
And get inside in more ways than one
And my tongue is less of a concern
As we take turns in biting other things instead

You better watch your mouth
You don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than you first thought or first heard, oh
You better watch your mouth
You don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than you first heard in your head

Apprehension's getting to me
Your rejection's not what I need
Apprehension's getting to me
Your rejection's not what I need
I don't wanna run away with my thoughts
I don't wanna go and say something that'll make you distraught
I don't wanna run away with my mind
To kill the risk of upsetting you I'll find a way
To watch my mouth
And leave your feathers alone

I better watch my mouth
I don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than I first thought or first heard, oh
I better watch my mouth
I don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than I first heard in my head
