Don't Should on Me - David Roth

    Late last night before repose my sweet heart called to me
    "Darling, you should hurry
    You should come to bed I'm cold
    You shouldn't keep your baby waiting
    You should be cooperating
    You should learn to do the things you are told"
    Something in her tone of voice
    was something less than kind
    This person telling me the things
    I should or shouldn't do
    A bell went off inside my head
    I ran right up side that bed
    I said "baby you should learn a thing or two-
    Like you should squeeze the toothpaste from the end, not from the top
    You should pay attention to those prices when we shop
    I think you should know better than
    To tell me things that I should do
    Don't should on me and I won't should on you"

    "And while we're on the subject
    There are certain other things my dear,
    You should be aware of
    I should think you shouldn't show
    Little things I'm sure of
    But ones you should take care of
    Like the way you think and everything you know
    You should watch the things you eat
    I think you're eating too much meat
    I think that you should change the clothes you wear (Clothes you wear )
    You should change your TV channels
    Those polyester sheets to flannels
    You should change the way you do your hair
    I only want whats best for you
    Why ever won't you listen
    I should know by now what you should put your emphasis in
    We should both know beller than
    To tell each other what to do
    Don't should on me and I won't should on you."

    So nowadays we're less demanding
    No hard feelings understanding
    best regards sincerely yours, it's true
    And when we stan to say "you should"
    We stop because it's understood
    Don't should on me and I won't should on you
    Well I guess it's only human nature
    Homosapien nomenclature
    Minding everybody elses business but your own
    With "you should this and you should that"
    You know what I've been getting at
    Sometimes we should leave well enough alone
    This song is almost over
    I'm amazed that we got through it
    I know it was a shouldy job
    But someone had to do it
    We should all know better than
    To tell each other what to do
    Don't should on me and I won't should on you
    Don't should on me and I won't should on you
