Just like a dog who needs fresh meat
Or a baby who wants a new toy
Or like the birds who can’t wait to fly south
I just needed somebody to get your taste out my mouth

Like a bear who likes to sleep in late
Or like an owl who stays out all night
I've been swimming downstream like a blue-eyed trout
I just needed somebody to get your taste out my mouth

Like a miner toils for golden rewards
Or a diver who misses the ocean floor
Like a booze hound who needs a refill of stout
I just needed somebody to get your taste out my mouth

Like a lawyer waiting for the next case
Or a politician begging for a vote
Just like a preacher needs the devout
I just needed somebody to get your taste out my mouth

Like a sailor longs for a distant shore
Or a climber who needs to see a new mountain top
I thought my life went sour, but it turns out
I just needed somebody to get your taste out my mouth
I just needed somebody to get your taste out my mouth
I just needed somebody to get your taste out my mouth
