Poking the Bear
Lyrics by K M Brierley 2022

My inner voice tells me to leave things alone
But I'm behaving like a dog with a bone
Grenade of crazy in a battlefield zone
I love the drama, makes me feel right at home
Start off the baiting with a call or a text
You just don't know what I'm about to do next
Uh oh, my train of thought is getting complex
So if I speak my mind, I'll have no regrets
Whoa oh here I come
Whoa oh you'd better run

Chorus:
Hey now I'm poking the bear with a stick
I shouldn't go there but it gives me a kick
Jump on a hiding to nothing, for the ride, it's exciting
'Cos I'm poking the bear with a stick

Just like a kamikaze pilot I crash
Lighting the fuse myself then watching the blast
I am your allergy that causes the rash
Although I hate you, I'm still wanting you back
Throw in my kryptonite that you can't resist
Ignite the dynamite each time that we kissed
This reconnection's gonna come with a twist
The realisation I'm your true nemesis
Whoa oh here I come
Whoa oh you'd better run

Hey now I'm poking the bear with a stick
I shouldn't go there but it gives me a kick
Jump on a hiding to nothing, for the ride, it's exciting
'Cos I'm poking the bear with a stick
Hey now I'm poking the bear with a stick
The ride, it's exciting
'Cos I'm poking the bear with a stick (this is it) yeah
Poking the bear, poking the bear, yeah I'm poking the bear

Yeah I'm poking the bear so you'd better beware
'Cos I'm poking the bear and I'm pulling it's hair
Yeah I'm poking the bear and I really don't care
Because I'm poking the bear, yeah I'm poking the bear
Whoa oh here I come
Whoa oh you'd better run
