I spilled paint on my shoe
Smeared cake on my face
I made a mess
All over the place

I tried to be neat
And I was until.
My glass of milk
Decided to spill.

I'm a mess.
Yes. Yes. Yes.

I mashed peas on the rug
Ice cream in my hair
I made a mess
Everywhere

I was clean this morning
I scrubbed both my ears
But the dirt in my nails
Has been there for years

I'm a mess.
Yes. Yes. Yes.

I take a bath every day
I watch the dirt float away
As soon as I dress
I'm a mess

I got lunch on my shirt
Dessert on the wall
I made a mess
A mess of it all

Anything I touch
And everything I see
Well if it's not a mess
Soon it's gonna be

I'm a mess.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
