Cut My Teeth Lyrics by Peggy Sue

Acrobats

2011

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
