Cut My Teeth - 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
