Ben Folds Five - Protection Lyrics

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

And 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 when I've got it straight, now keep it in mind

No you're not what I was looking for

I just need a little more 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 just can't talk

but I will protect myself from you

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 OK

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 causes I don't care about you

I don't give a shit

I don't give a shit

about you

woah



The pussy - ass

sounds of white - people

playing jazz
