protection

Ben Folds

Tourists wear their wallets in high places when abroad
So as not to be ripped off in ways
to which they re not apprised
Lawyers write some goofy terms in letters to the future
So as not to get all screwed by methods hereinafter devised
So will I

And I guess I will protect myself from you
Sometimes, I get so tickled I can t talk
But I will protect myself from you
I ll keep on reminding me I m always free to walk

You re not exactly what I m looking for
You don t even know that
but I ve got it straight, I m keeping it in mind
No you re not what I was looking for
I just need a little bit of what you ve got; a little bit
Don t make me laugh

And I guess I will protect myself from you
Sometimes, I get so tickled I can t talk
But I will protect myself from you
And I ll keep on reminding me I m always free to walk
Always free
Free to walk, hey
Whatever happens between you
and me today probably will be okay
But won t bother me anyway

And I guess I will protect myself from you
Sometimes, I get so tickled I can t talk
But I will protect myself from you
And I ll keep on reminding me I m always free to walk
Free: F-R-E-E

You can t, you can t hurt me cause I don t care about you
No, I don t give a shit, I don t give a shit about you, woah

The pussy-ass sounds of white people playing jazz
