You Took My Teeth Lyrics

You took my teeth
You took my brains
You try to drive me so insane
And now you're trying to take my eyes
But it is finished
Because I'm too wise

That is my Bob Marley died
That is my Bob Marley died
That is my Bob Marley died
You took is eyes
Boo boo boo boom
Boom

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Love the artist, but am CLUELESS as to the meaning of the song. It does, though, remind me of my father dropping his false teeth into his water glass at a very fancy restaurant (not long after he had become ill). He gave us his teeth and went on to almost drive us insane:) Gotta love family!
