[Verse 1] Never tell my mom what happened last week Never tell my mom I barely got sleep Never tell my mom I made another song About some dumb shit she already knows went wrong Never tell my mom I lost my damn mind Put it in a chorus, made the kick hit twice Never tell my mom I said, “Fuck all y’all” She was probably there when I made that call [Pre-Chorus] Keep it confidential Keep it off the record Keep it very quiet She already read the message [Chorus] NEVER TELL MY MOM Too late, she knows NEVER TELL MY MOM She watched the whole show Every bad decision Every “what the fuck?” Every little detail Yeah, she knows too much NEVER TELL MY MOM Don’t you say a word NEVER TELL MY MOM She already heard I could bury evidence Delete it all by dawn Doesn’t fucking matter MY MOM ALREADY KNOWS [Verse 2] Never tell my mom I wrote this at three Never tell my mom I’m petty creatively Never tell my mom I turned it into art She’ll say, “That’s nice, honey,” while she tears it apart Never tell my mom I got another plan Never tell my mom exactly where I am Never tell my mom Actually, scratch that She probably knows where I’m at [Pre-Chorus] Keep it confidential Password-protected She’ll look me dead in the face like “Matt, you already texted.” [Chorus] NEVER TELL MY MOM Too late, she knows NEVER TELL MY MOM She watched the whole show Every bad decision Every “what the fuck?” Every little detail Yeah, she knows too much NEVER TELL MY MOM Don’t you say a word NEVER TELL MY MOM She already heard I could bury evidence Delete it all by dawn Doesn’t fucking matter MY MOM ALREADY KNOWS [Bridge] She knows about the breakdown She knows about the comeback She knows who I can’t stand She knows exactly why that She knows when I say “I’m fine” Means “give me twenty minutes” She knows every story
