She told me
But when she told me
She asked me not to tell you
That she told me
And then I told you
But when I told you
I asked you not to tell her that I told you.
And then you told her that I told you
And then she told me that you told her
That I told you

And now we're all upset
Now we're all upset

I must learn to keep my big mouth shut

My mama told me
If you wanna keep a secret
Just don't tell anybody

She told me
But when she told me
She asked me not to tell you
That she told me
And then I told you
But when I told you
I asked you not to tell her that I told you.
But you said
Why would she tell you
if she didn't want you to tell me
And then you told her that I told you
And then she told me
that you told her
That I told you

And now we're all upset
Now we're all upset

I must learn to keep my big mouth shut
Keep it shut, keep it shut
