Nothing I Can Do About It Now

At first it seemed so harmless like most dares in high school are,
Pale cheeks against the window in the back seat of the car.
It seemed like something everyone should do just once in life,
Until I saw that I just mooned my our preacher and his wife.

Chorus
But there’s…
Nothing I can do about it now,
Nothing I can do about it now,
Nothing I can do, Nothing I can do,
Nothing I can do about it now.

I ran into a woman I hadn’t seen for quite awhile,
It was clear that any minute, she’d give birth to her next child,
So I said, “Congratulations, when’s your baby due?”
She said, “Jana, get your glasses checked, the baby’s almost two.”

Chorus

I wrote a funny email,
To my closest friend at work,
About a certain customer,
Who can be quite a jerk.
The boss came in the next morning,
With the email in his fist ,
It seems I’d sent it out to our entire client list.

Chorus

So I’m standing at the pearly gates not having any fun,
As St. Peter watches videos of all I’ve said and done,
I hope God not only will forgive, but also can forget,
Though the way St. Peter’s laughing, I’m not placing any bets.

Chorus
Repeat Chorus

Oh there’s nothing,
I can do about it now.
