Baby Teeth

Put me in your pocket

And run me through the wash

Forget about me slowly

A gradual kind of loss

Like a sweet forgotten

In your car door

I’ve hardened and melted

Many times before

I’m falling out your life just like a tooth

And there\'s no more baby teeth

Wrap a string around me and slam the door, honey

I\'ve waited so patiently

Yank me out with pliers

Or pull me out real slow

You can\'t get me back once I’m gone

I just wanted you to know

I\'m a half-read book

You dog-eared my pages

But I didn’t get you hooked

You haven\'t picked me up in ages

I\'m a take away receipt

That you’ve put in a drawer

I\'m convinced you don\'t need me

But you keep me there for no reason at all

I’m falling out your life just like a tooth

And there\'s no more baby teeth

Wrap a string around me and slam the door, honey

I\'ve waited so patiently

Yank me out with pliers

Or pull me out real slow

You can\'t get me back once I’m gone

I just wanted you to know

Put me in your pocket

And run me through the wash

Forget about me slowly (forget about me slowly)

A gradual (a gradual), a gradual (a gradual), kind of loss

(Shit)
