I just stabbed a man with a poison pen

I just can't wait to do it over again

Rake him through the coals, drag him through the fire

Wouldn't that be an ego gratifier

I take big bites 'cause I feel so toothless

Since Ruth went away I've been so damn ruthless

It's not really me to act so wild

My disposition is usually mild

But when I irritate and get under your skin

I stick words in you like they were pins

I take big bites 'cause I feel so toothless

Since Ruth went away I've been so damn ruthless

I don't really care what people say

I just do my usual way

So if you see me coming, don't waste your breath

'Cause I just might gum you to death

I take big bites 'cause I feel so toothless

Since Ruth went away I've been so damn ruthless
