Don't Should On Me And I Won't Should On You

So I found this song, and basically it's stinkin hilarious. It describes a situation that everyone has found his/herself in and what that person wishes he/she could have said. I am going to record it eventually, though it's not written by me. Unfortunately, I have no idea who it's written by. Google couldn't help me with that one. Anyway, please read on. I feel as if you may or may not enjoy it. I'm going to go with opiton "may."

“Don’t Should On Me And I Won’t Should On You”

Late last night, before repose, my sweetheart called to me:
Darling you should hurry, you should come to bed. I’m cold.
You shouldn’t keep your baby waiting. You should be cooperating;
You should learn to do the things you’re told.

Well, something in her tone of voice was somewhat less than kind,
This person telling me these things I should or shouldn’t do.
A bell went off inside my head, I ran right up beside that bed.
I said: baby you should learn a thing or two.

Like you should squeeze the toothpaste from the end, not from the top.
You should pay attention to those prices when we shop.
I think you should know better than to tell me things that I should do.
Don’t should on me and I won’t should on you.

And while we’re on the subject here are certain other things, my dear,
You should be aware of; I should think you shouldn’t show
Little things, but ones I’m sure you really should take care of
Like the way you think and everything you know.

You should watch the way you eat; I think you’re eating too much meat.
I think that you should change the clothes you wear.
You should change your TV channels, those polyester sheets to flannels.
You should change the way you do your hair.

I only want what’s best for you; why ever won’t you listen?
I should know by now what you should put your emphasis in.
We should both know better than to tell each other what to do.
Don’t should on me and I won’t should on you.

So nowadays we’re understanding, now my baby’s less demanding.
No hard feelings, best regards, sincerely yours. It’s true!
And when we start to say, “you should,” we stop because it’s understood:
Don’t should on me and I won’t should on you.

Well I guess it’s only human nature, homo sapien nomenclature,
Minding everybody else’s business but your own.
With you should this and you should that, you know what I’ve been getting at.
Sometimes we should leave well enough alone.

Well this song is almost over, I’m amazed that I got through it.
I know it was a “should-y” job, but someone had to do it.
We should all know better than to tell each other what to do.
Don’t should on me and I won’t should on you.
Don’t should on me and I won’t should on you.
