ache
(e. stefani)

woke up this morning and felt not too cool
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
because everytime i tried to make my mouth move
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
the pain i'm having is so discomforting
please make this suffering go away
i told my mom how i was feeling
and how long i'd been dealing with it
knew it was coming, but didn't know how soon
she said i've reached another adolescent monsoon

ooh, ahh, the pain is tremendous
why can't i take it like a man?
ooh, ahh, the pain is horrendous
why don't you lend a helping hand?

he was a well-educated man, had his degree in medicine
i noticed his hairy hands, he was a very, very hairy man
he looked right down in, shook his head and then said,
"these teeth must be pulled right away!"

ooh, ahh, the pain is tremendous
why can't i take it like a man?
ooh, ahh, the pain is horrendous
why don't you lend a helping hand?

he turned around, rolled up his sleeve
i rolled my eyes, and suddenly
a horrible pain grew, the next thing that i knew
the doc had pulled my wisdom teeth- OUT!
well along with my teeth, my money also left me
as he made out the bill i was moaning
ooh, ahh, the pain is tremendous...
where the hell is my prescription of codeine?

but when will i speak? how long until my mouth feels natural?
how long will they bleed, when will they heal, where's a real meal?
how do you feel? how do you feel? how do you feel? how do you feel?
how do you feel? how do you feel? how do you feel? how do you feel?
how do you feel? how do you feel? how do you feel? how do you feel?
how do you feel? how do you feel? how do you feel? how do you feel?

i feel good, i feel great, there's no pain, there's no ache.
i feel good, i feel great, just let me recooperate.
i feel good, i feel great, there's no pain, there's no ache.
i feel good, i feel great, just let me recooperate.
i feel good, i feel great, there's no pain, there's no ache.
i feel good, i feel great, just let me recooperate.

because the codeine has left me drowsy
leave me be, just let me sleep!
