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
