# What? Little Ol' Me?

[Spoken Intro]

Well...

I reckon it's finally my turn.

Y'all've heard the Bears' side for a couple hundred years now.

Funny how nobody ever thought to ask mine.

Now this ain't no court of law...
And I ain't under oath.

But in the court of public opinion...
I've been convicted since before my great-grandma was born.

What?

Little ol' me?

Well...

Pull up a chair...

Assumin' it'll hold together better than Baby Bear's.

[Verse 1]

I just needed some peace and quiet,
A walk beneath the pines.
There was this sweet-talkin' fella
Couldn't seem to take a hint or read the signs.
Then the clouds rolled in like trouble,
Thunder started beatin' time,
Next thing I know I'm lost out there
Tryin' to find that old dirt line.

[Chorus]

What?
Little ol' me?
That's the story y'all believe?
One bowl of porridge,
One busted chair,
Now I'm the outlaw of fairy tales?
Honey, if you'd heard my side,
You might've reached a different plea.
What?
Little ol' me?

[Verse 2]

Then I spotted smoke a-risin'
From a little cabin door.
Knocked and hollered,
Nobody answered,
So I stepped across the floor.
Pulled the pot back from the fire,
Opened up the window wide.
Funny how they skipped that chapter
When they testified.

[Chorus]

What?
Little ol' me?
That's the story y'all believe?
Saved the whole dang cottage,
Still somehow
They pinned it all on me.
History loves the first one talkin',
That's the way these stories read.
What?
Little ol' me?

[Verse 3]

Now I was cold and downright hungry,
Figured I'd taste before it burned.
Papa's could've stripped paint,
Mama's had already turned.
Baby's was the only one
That tasted halfway right.
And that little chair collapsed so fast
It lost itself the fight.

I bumped my head,
Climbed upstairs,
Closed my eyes a minute or three...

[Bridge]

Then I woke up...

To three bears.

Y'all ever wake up...

To three bears?

I don't care who you are...

You're gonna leave in a hurry.

[Final Chorus]

What?
Little ol' me?
Y'all can judge if that's your plea.
Believe the Bears,
Believe me not,
That's entirely up to thee.
I'm just sayin'
Every story's got
More than one side to see.
Funny thing...

Only one of us...

Ever got to tell it.
