Ben Folds Five - Protection (Speed Graphic Version) lyrics

rate me

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 here and after 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 keepin' 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

I'll keep on reminding me

I'm always free to walk

Now always free

Free to walk

Whatever happens between

You and me today

Probably will be okay

But it won't bother me in 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

And I don't give a shit about you

Bum, bum, bum

Bum, bum, bum
