( Awkward moments song lyrics )
OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT
Copyright © 2005 - mickterry.com

1: Awkward moments,
like thinking that two women are a mother & a daughter
& saying something like that when you really shouldna-oughtna.
Only to discover that the one you thought the mother
was really just a single year- younger than the other.

2: Awkward moments,
like meeting your new in-laws just before the pending wedding,
you've promised your fiancée not to say something upsetting.
Only to be asking where their daughter got her freckles,
not knowing that the milkman was an issue never settled.

CHORUS:
Open mouth, insert foot, chew well
with foot in mouth when you'd rather run like hell.

3: Awkward moments,
like seeing red lights flashing in the distance in your mirror,
& trying to outrun them, but they're only getting nearer.
Telling cops you're sorry that you were not thinking clearer,
but this only seems to happen when you've had 5 extra beers.-
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
You wish you'd disappear when you find yourself
in times like these.
But you find that you're right here with no protective shell
with foot-in-mouth disease.

4: Awkward moments,
now you've got a brand new girlfriend & you're trying to impress her.
You do not want her thinking you're just trying to undress her.
Only to be pestered that each word and every gesture
just leads to the conclusion that you must be a molester.
CHORUS:

5: Awkward moments,
like admitting to yourself your best friend's got an ugly baby.
There's no 2 ways about it: there's no ifs or buts or maybes.
Blurting what you're thinking, now you're feeling like a donkey,
saying, "Would you like some milk or a banana for your monkey?"
CHORUS:
