Cut My Teeth

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.
