  • Go on and wring my neck
    Like when a rag gets wet
    A little discipline
    For my pet genius
    My head is like a lettuce
    Go on, dig your thumbs in
    I cannot stop giving
    I'm thirty-something

    Sense of security
    Like pockets jingling
    (Midlife crisis)
    Suck ingenuity
    Down through the family tree

    You're perfect, yes, it's true
    But without me, you're only you (you're only you)
    Your menstruating heart
    It ain't bleedin' enough for two

    It's a midlife crisis
    It's a midlife crisis

    What an inheritance
    The salt and the Kleenex
    Morbid self-attention
    Bending my pinky back
    A little discipline
    A donor by habit
    A little discipline
    Rent an opinion

    Sense of security
    Holding blunt instrument
    (Midlife crisis)
    I'm a perfectionist
    And perfect is a skinned knee

    You're perfect, yes, it's true
    But without me, you're only you (you're only you)
    Your menstruating heart
    It ain't bleedin' enough for two

    Yeah
    Yeah
    Yeah, yeah

    It's a midlife crisis
    It's a midlife crisis

    You're perfect, yes, it's true (go on and wring my neck)
    (Like when a rag gets wet) but without me you're only you (go on and wring my neck)
    Your menstruating heart (go on and wring my neck)
    (Like when a rag gets wet) it ain't bleedin' enough for two
    You're perfect, yes, it's true (go on and wring my neck)
    (Like when a rag gets wet) but without me you're only you (go on and wring my neck) (you're only you)
    Your menstruating heart (go on and wring my neck)
    (Like when a rag gets wet) it ain't bleedin' enough for two
    You're perfect, yes, it's true (go on and wring my neck)
    (Like when a rag gets wet) but without me you're only you (go on and wring my neck) (you're only you)
    Your menstruating heart (go on and wring my neck)
    (Like when a rag gets wet) it ain't bleedin' enough for two
    You're perfect, yes, it's true (go on and wring my neck)
    (Like when a rag gets wet) but without me you're only you (go on and wring my neck)
    Your menstruating heart (go on and wring my neck)
    (Like when a rag gets wet) it ain't bleedin' enough for two Writer/s: Bill Gould, Jim B. Martin, Michael Allen Patton, Michael Andrew Bordin, Roddy Christopher Bottum
