So many years of fighting off the world
Has left me with scars on my hand
Has left me with scars on my hand
At times I thought I'd die from the wounds I received
At times I thought I'd die from the wounds I received
But now I wanna make you understand
But now I wanna make you understand


My bark is worse than my bite
My feelings are out in plain sight
Don't be afraid to touch me
Don't be afraid to love me, baby
My bark is worse than my bite
My bark is worse than my bite
My feelings are out in plain sight
My feelings are out in plain sight

But don't get me pissed off
But don't get me pissed off
'Cuz I'll bite your pretty head off

And I'll regret the day  
And I'll regret the day  
I drove your love away
I drove your love away
