I'll Show Myself Out
Exit of Regret: Tales of Love, Loss, and Hasty Exits
Lyrics
When I met her mama
Meeting her mother for the first time
If looks could kill I'm dead
Her disapproving or intense look affected me
I'm guessing that the reason
Assuming my words caused her reaction
Must be something that I said
Her negative reaction is due to something I said
No point in being a hero
No need to be a hero or try to salvage the situation
To wait to find out
Choosing not to wait to understand, deciding to leave
With my pride between my legs
Feeling ashamed or embarrassed
I said I'll show myself out
Deciding to leave on my own accord
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Repetitive sounds indicating a sense of departure
With my pride between my legs
Reiterating the decision to leave due to embarrassment
I said I'll show myself out
Repeating the decision to depart independently
Me and Judy getting jiggy
Engaging intimately with someone named Judy
On the couch beside the fire
Being together on a couch near a fire
That girl was super h h hot
Describing Judy as extremely attractive
She filled me with desire
Feeling strong attraction towards Judy
I heard the car door slam
Hearing a car door closing
So I didn't hang about
Choosing not to linger or stay
I opened up the window
Opening a window, perhaps to leave
Said I'll show myself out
Deciding to leave the situation
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Repeating the departure decision with musical sounds
I opened up the window
Reaffirming the intention to leave via an open window
Said I'll show myself out
Stating the decision to depart through the window
She looked just like an angel
Describing her as exceptionally beautiful
As she danced across the floor
Admiring her grace while dancing
Hey hold my beer good bud I said
Passing off responsibility or diverting attention
I'm moving in for more
Attempting to escalate the situation
Then I saw her boyfriend
Spotting her boyfriend
Standing six-four about but
Describing the boyfriend's stature
He didn't look so happy
His displeased or angry expression
So I showed myself out
Deciding to leave due to potential conflict
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Repeating the departure decision musically
He didn't look so happy so
Reaffirming the decision to leave due to his mood
I showed myself out
Stating the decision to depart due to his mood
I always liked to party
Enjoying a lively social life
I liked to play about
Having a carefree attitude towards consequences
Consequences meaningless
Realizing repercussions only after being discovered
Until I got found out
Reflecting on the lesson of the story
The moral of this story
Implying a lesson or takeaway from the experience
As if there's any doubt
Suggesting an obvious lesson from the situation
If you're way in over your head
When overwhelmed, it's best to exit
Just show yourself out
Reiterating the decision to leave when overwhelmed
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Expressing the departure decision musically
If you're in over your head
Reiterating leaving when overwhelmed
Just say I'll show myself out
Stating the decision to leave when overwhelmed
