Cover art for You Took My Teeth lyrics by Nina Simone

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!
