Joan Armatrading Eating The Bear Lyrics

Eating The Bear 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
