Do I Need A New Set Of Teeth
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
Do I Need A New Set Of Teeth
I know I have feelings for you
Yet I’m not quite sure what they are
I feel as if I could love you
Then there’s times I feel it’s not true
It seems we both think alike
And we read each other like books
Kind of like fusion and fission
I guess you might probably say
Maybe that is why I am smitten
By the very words that you speak
Although I am with another
I never stop thinking of you
Don’t you think I should just let her
Stay with her psychic friends network
And her group of her foodie friends
With all their spas and hit tubs
So please let me know what you think
Do I need a new set of teeth
P.s.Like I have always told you
I can’t understand your words
That you speak to me woman
Of all those places you’ve been
And all those ghosts you have seen
