Since I Lost My Tooth

I've been up and I been down

When I been between I just been hangin' around

Things are quite different

And life ain't the same

Since I lost my tooth

Now the women they treat me rude

Not that they ever really treated me that good

I'm a minority and now I know

What it's like and how it feels to be a negro

Doo doo doo doo

It's gettin' down to the nitty gritty

If you can't smile nice and you can't smile pretty

They don't wantchya around they say you look sloppy

When you eat

Well

I've been up and I been down

When I been between I just been hangin' around

Things are quite different

And life ain't the same

Since I lost my tooth
