Ani Difranco - RAIN CHECK lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Ani DiFranco

As dolls go I am broken

And you could just let that get us off the hook

But from under the umbrella of the unspoken

I see you giving me that look

Baby, you're right as rain about the benefits

But you might be wrong about the costs

And it feeds my heart that you came looking for me

But I'm thinkin I need to stay lost

So I won't say I saw you fibbing

Or jump-jigging across the floor

I won't say you walked me to my car

And draped your arm on my open door

I know my mind is made of matter

But I need to know exactly

What is the matter at it's core?

Because my heart is just a muscle

And simply put, it's sore

So never mind about the benefits

And never mind about the costs

That don't change the basic premises

In which I am surely lost

So I won't say I saw you fibbing

Or jump-jigging across the floor

I won't say you walked me to my car

And draped your arm on my open door
