Mutual Friends

Tonight, I'm gonna visit our mutual friends

Gonna tell them my own version of events

You can be the bad guy this time, and I'll be good

To our mutual friends, it will be well understood

Tonight, I'm gonna tell them 'bout how it went down

Put an end to all the rumors that been flying around

There'll be no question who was wrong or who was right

Gonna set the record straighter than it's ever been tonight

I'm gonna call the kids about a quarter past five

I know that's a little early, but I'm sure you'll survive

Yeah, Mama said, "Man, you gotta lift your game"

But our mutual friends will love me just the same

I don't need to talk until I'm blue in the face

Not gonna take me very long to make them see it my way

If I were you, I wouldn't bother with a made-up defense

You're never gonna pull the wool over our mutual friends

I'm gonna drop the kids about a quarter past five

I don't want 'em to see me when the day becomes night

You made it pretty easy when you kept your own name

Now I kinda hope our daughter does the same

If only you could take back all the things that you said

But the damage is done, you put the image in their heads

Wonder how you're gonna feel when you're beginning again

Wonder how you're gonna face our mutual friends

Yeah, I wonder what you'll say to our mutual friends

Wonder if they're gonna stay our mutual friends
