Teddy

Recollect, disrespect, over time, you're never right

Working too hard until they see me

The fuzz chasing me to my backyard

Said, "Come on, Officer, I wanna take you on"

I never made it this far

Say ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Say ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Say ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Say ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Yeah, somebody banging on my old door

Teddy doesn't live here anymore

Teddy gotta tell me what he saw

Teddy doesn't live here anymore

I said, "Teddy, tell me, come on, Teddy"

Teddy doesn't live here anymore

I'm not leaving 'til it's solved

He doesn't live here anymore

I see the officer there, he stands with his rifle

Fires every bullet in the tank until the belly's full

I bury my head in my hands and my hands do the dance

As I'm crying for my mother

Carpets full of blood, never ending flood

"Did you do it, son?"

"No, I didn't, no, I didn't, no, I didn't, no, I didn't"

Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh

Say ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Say ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Say ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Say ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Somebody banging on my old door

Teddy doesn't live here anymore

Teddy gotta tell me what he saw

Teddy doesn't live here anymore

I said, "Teddy, tell me, come on, Teddy"

Teddy doesn't live here anymore

I'm not leaving 'til it's solved

He doesn't live here anymore

Time was never on my side

Signs say moving on tonight

And the February sun, all of it is done

Yeah, time was never on my side

Somebody banging on my old door

Teddy doesn't live here anymore

Teddy gotta tell me what he saw

Teddy doesn't live here anymore

I said, "Teddy, tell me, come on, Teddy"

Teddy doesn't live here anymore

I'm not leaving 'til it's solved

He doesn't live here anymore
