The third track on No Doubt’s debut, this song describes a trip to the dentist for the extraction of wisdom teeth, as well as the after effect of the remedy given to them. Wisdom teeth extractions can be needed if the wisdom teeth in your mouth starts having issues, such as your wisdom teeth growing...
[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning and felt no too cool
Cause every time I tried to make my mouth move
The pain I'm having is so discomforting
Please make this suffering go away
I told my mom what I was feeling
And how long I've been dealing with it
I knew it was coming but didn't know how soon
She said I've reached another adolescent monsoon
[Chorus]
Ooo ahh the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
Ooo ahh the pain is horrendous
Why don't you lend a helpin' hand
[Verse 2]
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!"
[Chorus]
Ooo ahh the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
Ooo ahh the pain is horrendous
Why don't you lend a helpin' hand
Ooo ahh the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
Ooo ahh the pain is horrendous
Why don't you lend a helpin' hand
[Verse 3]
He turned around, rolled up his sleeve
I rolled my eyes then 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
Oooh ahh the pain is tremendous
Where the hell is my prescription of codeine?
[Verse 4]
But when will I speak
How long until my mouth feels natural?
How long will they bleed, when will they heal
Where's the real meal
[Bridge]
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?
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?
[Outro]
I feel good, I feel great, there's no pain, there's no ache
I feel good, I feel great, just let me recuperate
I feel good, I feel great, there's no pain, there's no ache
I feel good, I feel great, just let me recuperate
Because the codeine has left me drowsy
Leave me be...just let me sleep!
