Teddy

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I see the officer there, he stands with his rifle
He fires every bullet in the tank until my belly's full
I bury my head in my hands and my hands do the dance
As I'm crying for my mother
Carpet's 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”

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Time was never on my side
Signs say moving on tonight
And the February sun
All of it is done
Your time was never on my side

[Chorus]
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
