Grizzlies Just Need a Little Loving!

[Verse 1]
They said
“Boy
Don’t you go
Up that mountain side”
But I packed three jars of honey
And a whole lotta pride
Saw a big brown shadow
Shakin’ off the rain
He roared
I froze
Then he sniffed my sugar cane
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
The forest started swayin’
Like a jukebox come alive
Heart beatin’ like a kick drum
But I looked him in the eye
[Chorus]
Grizzlies just need a little loving!
(hey, hey!)
Even big teeth need a little hugging
(ooh-oooh)
If you’re scared
You ain’t the only one
But even wild hearts wanna have some fun
Oh
Grizzlies just need a little loving!
(yeah, yeah!)
Grizzlies just need a little love
[Verse 2]
He danced one step closer
Put his paw in mine
We were two strange brothers
On the same good time
I said
“You got claws
Big fella
I got scars to prove”
He just grinned that shaggy grin
Said
“Boy
Now watch me move”
[Pre-Chorus]
Trees clappin’ with the branches
Owls hummin’ like a choir
We were spinnin’ in a circle
’Round a campfire of desire
[Chorus]
Grizzlies just need a little loving!
(come on!)
Even big teeth need a little hugging
(ooh-oooh)
If you’re scared
You ain’t the only one
But even wild hearts wanna have some fun
Oh
Grizzlies just need a little loving!
(yeah, yeah!)
Grizzlies just need a little love
[Bridge]
They say
“Boy
That’s danger
Better turn and run”
But I see a lonely stranger
Who just wants a little sun
So I’ll bring my honey jar
You bring that rumble low
We’ll turn that growl to laughter
Let that gentle side show
[Chorus]
Grizzlies just need a little loving!
(hey, hey!)
Even big teeth need a little hugging
(ooh-oooh)
If you’re scared
You ain’t the only one
But even wild hearts wanna have some fun
Oh
Grizzlies just need a little loving!
(yeah, yeah!)
Grizzlies just need a little love
[Chorus]
Grizzlies just need a little loving!
(one more time!)
Even big teeth need a little hugging
(ooh-oooh)
From the mountain to the valley floor
Big bear
I ain’t afraid no more
’Cause grizzlies just need a little loving!
(yeah, yeah!)
Grizzlies just need a little love
