You men are all the same

Macho but cheap

A bunch of unfaithful fools

So predictable, I’m not even sure you deserve me

You’re lucky that we love you

Go on, thank me

[Chorus]

We’ve set the date for our next argument

We’ve set the date around that time of month

[Verse 2]

I swear that was the last time

You may think I'm throwing a fit

Take one last look at my ass

It’s right next to my suitcase

Say goodbye to your mommy

Who puts you on a pedestal

You have no idea what you’re losing

You’ll never find anyone as good as me

What? You wanna break up now?

You’ve got it all wrong

I was only saying that to get a reaction

And you were actually thinking about it!

[Chorus]

We’ve set the date for our next argument

We’ve set the date around that time of month

[Verse 3]

It’s easy to say I’m whiny and emotional

And I talk too much “blah blah blah”

But no no no, it’s important

That thing you call your ‘period’

You know, life is for having kids

But as always, “It’s never the right time

Oh, sure, you’re there to make them

But will you be there to raise them, too?

[Bridge]

By the time I’ve turned ugly

Or at least au naturel –

Stop, I know you’re lying

Only Kate Moss will stay forever beautiful

Ugly or stupid? – It ain’t right!

Beauty or beast? – It ain’t right!

Beauty or me? – It ain’t right!

Me or her? – It ain’t right!

[Chorus]

We’ve set the date for our next argument

We’ve set the date around that time of month

[Outro]

All the same, all the same, all the same and we’re fed up

All the same, all the same, all the same and we’re fed up

All the same, all the same, all the same and we’re fed up

All the same, all the same, all the same
