I'll never grow up, I won't try

I can live with that, don't ask why

I am resigned that this is me

If I can take it, why can't she?



I am bad at my best, but she will not accept that

I can't get away with things I might regret

She makes me get started when nothing's ever through

And I do the best that I can do but



Mimi gets mad when I make her wait

Mimi gets mad when I phone too late

But then Mimi gets sad if I hurt myself

Can't say that about nobody else



Someone should tell her honestly

She is a fool to count on me

I swore there would be no delay

I should have been here yesterday



So I sneak in the door and there she is again

She could squeeze off a shot just as soon as look at me

She don't say a word and every word is true

And if that's the best that I can do then



Mimi gets mad every time I'm wrong

Mimi gets mad when I sleep too long

But then Mimi gets glad when I do my share

See no smile but I know it's there



There must be a dozen other boys

She could give her anger to

I'm the only one, it doesn't matter what I do

It's not very pretty but it's absolutely true

That I'm still the best that she can do so



Mimi gets mad
