Name: Last Word
Duration: P00H03M09S
Description: This song is my 3-minute autobiography. I pretty much lay out all of my insecurities in the form of the statement that I’m famous for, “I know!” If you don’t know me by the end of this song, then you weren’t really paying attention. This song is base on true-life events and no names were changed to protect the innocent.

about

This song is my 3-minute autobiography. I pretty much lay out all of my insecurities in the form of the statement that I’m famous for, “I know!” If you don’t know me by the end of this song, then you weren’t really paying attention. This song is base on true-life events and no names were changed to protect the innocent.

lyrics

I know it means that you’re getting fat
When you don’t look like the girl who does the weather
I know it means that you’re getting fat
When a minute on the lips is forever on whatever

I know I have crazy hair
And a pair of impossible eyebrows
I know 5’2” ain’t too tall
But you can hear me on the other side of the house
I know that I think I know everything
I know that you don’t have to tell me
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

I know it means that you’re getting old
When you start to talk to yourself in the mirror
I know it means that you’re getting old
When people start telling you “you sound like your mother”

I know I like to argue a lot
And that I can get really bossy
I know I talk way too much
And my attitude’s a little bit saucy
I know that I think I know everything
I know that you don’t have to tell me
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
(Repeat)

Mamma always scolded me
About having the last word in everything
But I’ve grown and moved away
And I spoke with her on the phone just yesterday
She says giving up the last word is a sign of maturity
Well, I know that you don’t have to tell me
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

She says giving up the last word is a sign of maturity
Well, I know that you don’t have to tell me
