Lyrics

[Verse 1] I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors I screamed his name 'til 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 ringin' off the hook I can hear her now, sayin' 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 actin' 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 [Verse 4] Can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation (Ah) Sometimes revenge's just a choice you gotta make (Ah) 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 actin' 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 eyes 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 actin' 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
