I Said The Quiet Part Out Loud

In a comical tale of foot-in-mouth moments, this song recounts the misadventures of blurting out thoughts best kept to oneself. It all starts at the county fair, where our protagonist, full of swagger, approaches Sally Mae with intentions of charming her, only to disastrously say the quiet part out loud. The awkwardness continues at a dinner with the in-laws, where an attempt to compliment the pie goes hilariously wrong.

It started with a grin at the county fair,
I spotted Sally Mae twirlin' her golden hair,
I walked up with a swagger, feelin' mighty proud,
Then I said the quiet part out loud.

I meant to say, "You're lookin' fine tonight,"
But my mind took a turn and it didn't come out right,
She stared at me with eyes so big and round,
'Cause I said the quiet part out loud.

Well, I meant to keep it secret, keep it safe inside my head,
But it slipped right through my lips, and I wish I was dead,
Now I'm standin' here, embarrassed in the crowd,
'Cause I said the quiet part out loud.

At the dinner with the in-laws, tryin' to impress,
But the more I talked, the worse it was, I guess,
I meant to say, "Your pie's the best around,"
Then I said the quiet part out loud.

My boss was askin' 'bout my work from nine to five,
I said, "I'm busy," but my eyes were lookin' live,
Didn't mean to mention Netflix or explain how I laze around,
But I said the quiet part right out loud.

Well, I meant to keep it secret, keep it safe inside my head,
But it slipped right through my lips, and I wish I was dead,
Now I'm standin' here, embarrassed in the crowd,
'Cause I said the quiet part out loud.
