Don't Should on Me - David Roth

Late last night before repose my sweet heart called to me

"Darling, you should hurry

You should come to bed I'm cold

You shouldn't keep your baby waiting

You should be cooperating

You should learn to do the things you are told"

Something in her tone of voice

was something less than kind

This person telling me the things

I should or shouldn't do

A bell went off inside my head

I ran right up side that bed

I said "baby you should learn a thing or two-

Like you should squeeze the toothpaste from the end, not from the top

You should pay attention to those prices when we shop

I think you should know better than

To tell me things that I should do

Don't should on me and I won't should on you"

"And while we're on the subject
There are certain other things my dear,
You should be aware of
I should think you shouldn't show
Little things I'm sure of
But ones you should take care of
Like the way you think and everything you know
You should watch the things you eat
I think you're eating too much meat
I think that you should change the clothes you wear (Clothes you wear )
You should change your TV channels
Those polyester sheets to flannels
You should change the way you do your hair
I only want whats best for you
Why ever won't you listen
I should know by now what you should put your emphasis in
We should both know beller than
To tell each other what to do
Don't should on me and I won't should on you."

So nowadays we're less demanding
No hard feelings understanding
best regards sincerely yours, it's true
And when we stan to say "you should"
We stop because it's understood
Don't should on me and I won't should on you
Well I guess it's only human nature
Homosapien nomenclature
Minding everybody elses business but your own
With "you should this and you should that"
You know what I've been getting at
Sometimes we should leave well enough alone
This song is almost over
I'm amazed that we got through it
I know it was a shouldy job
But someone had to do it
We should all know better than
To tell each other what to do
Don't should on me and I won't should on you
Don't should on me and I won't should on you
