It always starts so easy

All hearts and chocolate candy kisses

So sweet you have to taste it

But then you go and waste it

Time to face it

So I had to go and get my hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer

Mama never taught him all his manners, manners, manners, manners, manners, manners

Knowing he could never meet my standards, standards, standards, standards, standards, standards

Girl, better go and get your hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer

You knew you were in trouble

Kept digging with a shovel

Tried to bury all the proof

I just sat back 'cause I had the truth

All of the lines you used on me

Felt measured out too perfectly

One, two, or quite a few

I can't be the first you've done this to

I know that I should take the higher road

But now I'm feeling kinda psycho

So I had to go and get my hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer

Mama never taught him all his manners, manners, manners, manners, manners, manners

Knowing he could never meet my standards, standards, standards, standards, standards, standards

Girl, better go and get your hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer

Hot, hot boys thinking you could steal my joys

Ha-ha-ha boys, hot, hot boys

Hot, hot boys thinking you could steal my joys

Ha-ha-ha boys, hot, hot boys

So I had to go and get my hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer

Mama never taught him all his manners, manners, manners, manners, manners, manners

Put the nail in the coffin, now he dead, he dead, he dead, he dead, he dead

Girl, better go and get your hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer

So I had to go and get my hammer

It always starts so easy

All hearts and chocolate candy kisses

So sweet you have to taste it

But then you go and waste it

Time to face it
