PRETTY HANDS

I wanna' be like my kids

I wanna' steal back my innocence

'Cause when I met you I was free as the weather

I taught you how to love

You taught me how to fight

Showed you how to live

You showed me how to die

Always baring teeth and showing knuckles

Back arched hair raised and looking for a scuffle

But I never thought it'd be me

You wanna' loose those pretty hands on

You say you wanna' dance with me

Well tonight you're lucky

Baby lets get our dance on

I wonder what it was I did

I wonder what grass you saw over the fence

'Cause when I found you I could find no one better

I taught you how to breathe

You taught me how to sigh

Showed you how to smile

You showed me how to lie

Your tongue always was the strongest of your muscles

Dukes up hair down and looking for some trouble

But I never thought it'd be me

You wanna' loose those pretty hands on

You say you wanna' dance with me

Well tonight you're lucky

Baby lets get our dance on

Well I got chipped teeth from biting my tongue

Well I got a crooked smile from all the times I played dumb

While you were finding yourself I think I lost who I was

I found the bottom of the bottle but I found it swimming up
