Cut My Teeth Songtext
von Peggy Sue

Once I held the sweetest heart
I cut my teeth upon his love
All I know now I learned back when
His mouth would start where mine would end.

I had to hold the kindest love
I held my breath for mine to stop
I won′t turn blue that way again
In truth, still waiting for the end.

Oh, oh -ah oh ah, oh oh
Oh, oh ah oh ah, oh oh

Wish I was quiet,
Wish I was mean
But I can't keep my mouth shut
And I keep coming clean

I wish I was quiet,
And wish I was mean,
But I can′t keep my mouth shut
And I keep calm, and I keep calm,
And I keep coming clean.


I had to keep the softest touch
I held it till I was grown numb
I cut my teeth upon his flesh
And watched him weeping as I left.

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Wish I was quiet,
And wish I was mean
But can't keep my mouth shut
And I keep calm, and I keep calm,
And I keep coming clean.

No hands, no hands,
Carry the love like a flag
Hold it up above your head
So they see you coming.

Your hands, keep them clean
Carry the love in your teeth.
Make amends when you speak
Keep you hands free to be held in between.

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh


I made him stay because I could.
I cut my teeth on his good looks.
I'll do from now on as I should
And trade that he learn to be good,
Good, good, good, good, good.
