[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning and felt no too cool
Cause every time I tried to make my mouth move
The pain I'm having is so discomforting
Please make this suffering go away
I told my mom what I was feeling
And how long I've been dealing with it
I knew it was coming but didn't know how soon
She said I've reached another adolescent monsoon

[Chorus]
Ooo ahh the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
Ooo ahh the pain is horrendous
Why don't you lend a helpin' hand

[Verse 2]
He was a well-educated man, had his degree in medicine
I noticed his hairy hands, he was a very, very hairy man
He looked right down in, shook his head and then said
"These teeth must be pulled right away!"

[Chorus]
Ooo ahh the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
Ooo ahh the pain is horrendous
Why don't you lend a helpin' hand
Ooo ahh the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
Ooo ahh the pain is horrendous
Why don't you lend a helpin' hand

[Verse 3]
He turned around, rolled up his sleeve
I rolled my eyes then suddenly
A horrible pain grew, the next thing that I knew
The doc had pulled my wisdom teeth out!
Well along with my teeth my money also left me
As he made out the bill, I was moaning
Oooh ahh the pain is tremendous
Where the hell is my prescription of codeine?

[Verse 4]
But when will I speak
How long until my mouth feels natural?
How long will they bleed, when will they heal
Where's the real meal

[Bridge]
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel?

[Outro]
I feel good, I feel great, there's no pain, there's no ache
I feel good, I feel great, just let me recuperate
I feel good, I feel great, there's no pain, there's no ache
I feel good, I feel great, just let me recuperate
Because the codeine has left me drowsy
Leave me be...just let me sleep!

No Doubt formed in Anaheim, California in 1986. They have created a decade-defining style and have arguably become one of the most recognized bands of their time. The band has consisted of vocalist and frontwoman Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal, and drummer Adrian Young, as well as several former members—including Gwen’s older brother Eric Stefani.

They found mainstream success following the release of their third studio album Tragic Kingdom in late 1995. It eventually landed at the top of the Billboard charts in 1996, and has sold over 8 million copies as of 2012.
