If He Tries Anything - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
I'm invincibleso are youwe do all the thingsthey say we can't dowe walk aroundin the middle of the nightand if it's too far to walkwe just hitch a ridewe got rings of dirtaround our neckswe talk like auctioneersand we bounce like checkswe smell like shitstill, when we walk down the streetall the boys line upto throw themselves at our feet
I say I think he likes youyou say I think he do toogo and get him girlbefore he gets you
I'll be watching youfrom the wings
I will come to your rescueif he tries anythingit's a long long roadit's a big big worldwe are wise wise womenwe are giggling girlswe both carry a smileto show when we're pleasedwe both carry a switchbladein our sleevestell you one thing
I'm gonna make noise when I go downfor ten square blocksthey're gonna know I diedall the goddesses will come upto the ripped screen doorand say,what do you want, dear?and I'll say,I want inside
I say I think he likes youyou say I think he do toogo and get him girlbefore he gets you
I'll be watching youfrom the wings
I will come to your rescueif he tries anything
