(Chorus)
Call up yer
mother...
Take out an ad...
Show up on Oprah
Tell her yer sad...
Pig out on ice cream
Strike up the band,
And cry me a river-
'Cause I don't give a damn...
Verse 1
You used to laugh when I had the blues
But it ain't so funny when it happens to you,
It's different when the hard times come along...
Like water on rock, it was steady but slow
'Til you wore me down and I had to go
Now you're acting like the victim
Since I've gone..so-
(Chorus)
Verse 2
I work all day and I bust my hump
Then I drag it home and the house is a dump
While you lay around, you tweak and watch TV...
Then you tell me that the money's all spent,
But it wasn't on groceries and it wasn't on rent,
Now you wonder why the highway calls to me...so-
(Chorus)
Verse 3
And it really got old, night after night
When I'd try to relax but you wanted to fight-
I wouldn't take your bait and go to jail...
So I packed my bags and I got my ticket
And you looked surprised when I told you to stick it-
'Cause Baby, this relation-ship has sailed...so-
(Chorus)
Call up Yer
mother...
Take out an ad...
Show up on Oprah-
You can tell her I'm bad...
Pig out on ice cream...
Strike up the band...
Then cry me a river-
'Cause I don't give a damn...
Yeah cry me
a river-
'Cause I don't give a damn...
You can jump
in the river-
And I won't give a damn!
