Joan Armatrading — Eating The Bear lyrics

Lyrics

He had me down
But I put up a fight
I saw those teeth
And I groped for my knife
Big brown bear
With the juice from his mouth
He could taste my leg
And he thought he’d got me But I am eating the bear
He lurked around
'Cos he knew where I lived
I’m in the jungle
and he means to eat me He means to eat me He’s a hungry bear
He touched my arm
And he thought he’d got me But I am eating the bear
Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you’ll eat the bear
And I am eating the bear
It’s not just girls
He eats who he wants
He’s big and strong
Fights dirty and mean
If you spill some blood
He’ll smell you for miles
You better watch out
'Cos he’s right behind you
