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
