Mimi Gets Mad

  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
