I'll never grow up, I won't try
 
 I can live with that, don't ask why
 
 I am resigned that this is me
 
 If I can take it, why can't she? 
 
  
  I am bad at my best, but she will not accept that
 
 I can't get away with things I might regret
 
 She makes me get started when nothing's ever through
 
 And I do the best that I can do but
  
 
 Mimi gets mad when I make her wait
 
 Mimi gets mad when I phone too late
 
 But then mimi gets sad if I hurt myself
 
 Can't say that about nobody else
  
 
 Someone should tell her honestly
 
 She is a fool to count on me
 
 I swore there would be no delay
 
 I should have been here yesterday
  
 
 So I sneak in the door and there she is again
 
 She could squeeze off a shot just as soon as look at me
 
 She don't say a word and every word is true
 
 And if that's the best that I can do then
  
 
 Mimi gets mad every time I'm wrong
 
 Mimi gets mad when I sleep too long
 
 But then mimi gets glad when I do my share
 
 See no smile but I know it's there
  
 
 There must be a dozen other boys
 
 She could give her anger to
 
 I'm the only one, it doesn't matter what I do
 
 It's not very pretty but it's absolutely true
 
 That I'm still the best that she can do so
  
 
 Mimi gets mad
