I made up my mind

To do as I should

I gotta tell ya

It's hard to be good

The perfect set up

Falls right in my lap

And I have to pass

I feel like a sap

Somebody smarts off

And I can't come back

So I bite my tongue

Instead of attack

Then today as I'm

Driving in to work

Someone cuts me off

Another dumb jerk

Of course I can't say

What I'm dying to

I'm gonna be good

I will follow through

On my intention

To be a good girl

Though it might kill me

In this cruel world

I do good in this

Ongoing drama

Then someone goes and

Disses my mama

Well, let me tell you

That's going too far

Asking for trouble

They're gonna see stars

All of my pent up

Frustration is here

Just begging release

Don't tell me that's fear

I see in your face

Don't tell me you thought

You could diss my mom

And it come to nought

Cause that's the one thing

I couldn't let pass

You should have known that

Ain't you got no class?

Mamas are sacred

And you crossed the line

Now you're gonna pay

The pleasure is mine

It's such a relief

To be my old self

So just bring it on

You may need some help

Cause this here tiger

Has just been released

I'm itching to fight

And yes, I am pleased

Cause, like I have said

Though I know I should

It's not any fun

To try to be good
