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 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 Go and fix your make up girl it's, just a break up run an' 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 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 holdin' 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 Go and fix your make up girl it's, just a break up run an' 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 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 Go and fix your make up well it's, just a break up run an' 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
