Lyrics Eating The Bear - Joan Armatrading

Eating The Bear

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 tastes my leg and he thought he’d got me
But I am eating the bear
He lurked around 'cause 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, I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you’ll eat the bear
Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you’ll eat the bear
Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you’ll eat the bear
Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you’ll eat the bear
And I, I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
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 'cause he’s right behind you
And I, I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you’ll eat the bear
Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you’ll eat the bear
Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you’ll eat the bear
Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you’ll eat the bear
And I, I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
I am eating the bear
