Lyrics

Mad, you just make me mad

Expressing anger and frustration towards someone

I hate your silent breathing in the night

Disliking the sound of the person's breath at night

Sad, you make me sad

Conveying a sense of sadness caused by the person

When I juxtapose your features, I get sad

Feeling sorrowful when comparing the person's features

I know I shouldn't had someone else in our bed

Regretting the presence of someone else in their shared bed

But I was so tired, I was so tired

Justifying actions due to extreme tiredness

Who would think you'd find a bobby pin?

Surprised that a bobby pin is found, causing anger

It just makes me mad, makes me mad

Reiterating the emotion of anger

It just makes me, makes me

Emphasizing the effect of the person's actions

Mad

Summing up the overwhelming feeling of anger

Glad, when I'm gone you're glad

Highlighting the relief felt by the speaker's absence

That overwhelming tension dissipates

Describing the dissipation of tension when gone

Oh, Tad, you think I'm a baby

Referring to the person as if they consider the speaker a child

Nobody likes to hear

Expressing displeasure at the person's attitude

Why don't you grow up at dawn

Suggesting maturity is needed, especially at dawn

I know I shouldn't had someone else in our bed

Repeating the regret of having someone else in bed

But I was so tired, so tired

Reiterating exhaustion as a reason for actions

Who would think you'd find a bobby pin?

Surprised that a bobby pin is found again

It makes me mad, makes me mad

Emphasizing the recurring feeling of anger

Don't you know it just makes me

Reiterating the impact of the person's actions

Mad

Repeating the overwhelming feeling of anger

It just makes me mad

Emphasizing the ongoing anger

Dumb, you're dumb as my thumb

Describing the person as unintelligent

In the wistful morning, you throw a coffee cup at my head

Recalling an incident of violence involving a coffee cup

Scum, you said I'm scum

Labeling the speaker as scum

What a very lovely, feminine thing to do

Sarcastically commenting on the person's behavior

Bark, why don't you just bark?

Suggesting the person should behave like a dog

Sit, come, stay are the perfect words meant for you

Mocking the person with commands meant for a dog

Ah, ass, you says I'm an ass

Labeling the speaker as an ass

You better call 911 'cause I'm gonna hold you tight

Threatening to hold the person tightly, possibly aggressively

I know I shouldn't had someone else in our bed

Repeating the regret of having someone else in bed

But I was so tired, so tired

Reiterating exhaustion as a reason for actions

You said you're out of town for the night

Noting the person's claim of being out of town

And I believed in you, I believed you

Expressing trust and belief in the person, despite doubts

And I was so tired

Stress and exhaustion emphasized again

It makes me so mad

Intensifying anger due to betrayal

It makes me so

Repeating the intense feeling of anger

Mad

Summing up the overwhelming feeling of anger

It makes me so mad

Reiterating the intense feeling of anger

It just makes me mad

Emphasizing the ongoing impact of the person's actions

It makes me mad

Repeating the intense feeling of anger

It makes me mad

Reiterating the intense feeling of anger

It makes me mad

Repeating the intense feeling of anger

It makes me mad

-

It makes me mad, ah

Continuing to express intense anger

Dumb

Reiterating the belief that the person is unintelligent
