Since I Lost My Tooth

I've been up and I been down When I been between I just been hangin' around Things are quite different And life ain't the same Since I lost my tooth Now the women they treat me rude Not that they ever really treated me that good I'm a minority and now I know What it's like and how it feels to be a negro Since I lost my tooth Doo doo doo doo It's gettin' down to the nitty gritty If you can't smile nice and you can't smile pretty They don't wantchya around they say you look sloppy When you eat Well I've been up and I been down When I been between I just been hangin' around Things are quite different And life ain't the same Since I lost my tooth
