Teeth Lyrics by Shelley Doty

Opportunity

0

[Intro]
No hey yeah na na na
Yeah na ha na yeah na yeah na whoa
[Verse 1]
Well I take what I get when I get it
I can keep myself in line
I've been known to lose my temper a few times
But I try to find my humor in time, in time
[Verse 2]
I'm a barking dog that's been know to bite
I'm a peace loving soul who knows how to fight
I've been down the hall with my back to the wall
But I ain't never gone down easy, easy
[Chorus]
You can tell me there's a different way
To live my life
I hear what you say
But I know I need to be strong to get along
Can't be a tiger with my teeth filed down
You can tell me there's a different way
To live my life
I hear what you say
But I know I need to be strong to get along
Can't be a tiger with my teeth filed down
[Post-Chorus]
Hey ya na ya na ha ya na ha hey oh whoa hey oh
[Verse 3]
And if you have to ask me what I'm looking for
When I refuse to sit with my back to the door
Well it's plain to see
You and me we just don't see eye to eye
[Verse 4]
You know I've been known to take a sip or a trip
But that doesn't mean that I ever fell for that shit
'Cause I don't wanna be another casualty
I don't wanna be too high, too high
But she can't touch the sky
[Chorus]
And you can tell me there's a different way
To live my life
I hear what you say
But I know I need to be strong to get along
Can't be a tiger with my teeth filed down
You can tell me there's a different way
To live my life
I hear what you say
But I know I need to be strong to get along
Can't be a tiger with my teeth filed down
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm hey ah whoa
[Verse 5]
Well I take what I get when I get it
I can keep myself in line
I've been known to lose my temper a few times
But I try to find my humor in time, in time
In time
[Chorus]
You can tell me there's a different way
To live my life
I hear what you say
But I know I need to be strong to get along
Can't be a tiger with my teeth filed down
You can tell me there's a different way
To live my life
I hear what you say
But I know I need to be strong to get along
Can't be a tiger with my teeth filed down
[Post-Chorus]
Unh woo ha duh ha
