Through the plaque and tartar stains,
I brush apart and excavate
to show an adequate display of a smile for you girl
Dental floss and Listerine
enough to force these gums to bleed
I'll make my teeth shine extra clean for your own to meet mine
Because my words lack romance
so I brush my teeth
Inject some Novocaine
or laughing gas to numb the pain
I'll put the Brits to shame,
but it might remain insufficient
I just can't understand
what it takes to be your man
because I have brushed so hard,
my enamel's gone
and it's only because of you
And I forgot my hygiene years ago
until I saw your pretty face
your essence gave me reason
to go brush my teeth
