[Verse 1] I'm all busted up Broken bones and nasty cuts Accidents will happen But this time, I can't get up She comes to check on me Making sure I'm on my knees After all, she's the one Who put me in this state
[Chorus] Is she ultra-violent? Is she disturbed? I better tell her that I love her Before she does it all over again Oh God, she's killin' me
[Bridge] Lookin' out my window for someone that's passin' by No one knows I'm locked in here, all I do is cry
[Verse 3] For now, I'll lie around Hell, that's all I can really do She takes good care of me Just keep sayin' my love is true

“Pulling Teeth” was written from the perspective of a man who is abused by his girlfriend, and how he can’t get out of his situation. The song has a very dark bit of humor to it, considering the subject matter. The inspiration for this song comes from when bassist Mike Dirnt was having a pillow fight with his then-girlfriend. Mike allegedly ran around a corner, hit his head, and landed on and broke both of his elbows.
