You got excited
And you waved your hands
And you knocked down all the pictures
And they shattered
And I got mad
As I was sweeping
I filled the dustpan
And cursed your name
But I forgive you
'Cause you can't help yourself
I forgive you
'Cause you can't help yourself
You're dumb
And it's not your fault
You had a nightmare
And you woke up screaming
And you ran out of the house in your pajamas
And I got mad
I put up signs
"He's Six-Foot-One"
"In bunny slippers"
But I forgive you
'Cause you can't help yourself
I forgive you
'Cause you can't help yourself
You're dumb
And it's not your fault
God bless the child
Who can't remember
All the shouting
That never happened
You gave no sign
No clue at all
Walked out of Eden
Without the apple
But I forgive you
'Cause you can't help yourself
I forgive you
'Cause you can't help yourself
I forgive you
'Cause you can't help yourself
You're dumb
Oh, you're dumb
Oh, you're dumb
And it's not your fault
