Toothache Lyrics

I bet'cha them bullets can surely blow,
Me back to hell all down we go,
Lick your belly and I make you smile I hear ya,
I'm achin' I'm milking the miles,
Honey I don't mind.
Your trickin' me right?
I'm a tramp and I love you,
Hold me down,
Hold me down mesmerisin' me,
All the world can see,
I can sing oh!
Yeah I'm drivin' in the back seat of your love.
Shooting stars don't make you see,
Your living on love I can feel its real,
Kiss your belly and I make a smile,
I hear ya, I'm achin',
I'm milkin' the miles,
No milk don't melt in the back of my mouth,
I'm a tramp and I love you,
Hold me down, hold me down
No milk in the back of my mouth
No milk in the back of my mouth
No milk in the back of my mouth
Mesmerisin' me all the world can see,
I can sing oh yeah, don't need no bore - a - tellin' - me you
Can have it all
Can have it all
Can have it all
I'm driving in the back seat of you love.

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.
