If He Tries Anything Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

If He Tries Anything Lyrics

    I'm invincible
    so are you
    we do all the things
    they say we can't do
    we walk around
    in the middle of the night
    and if it's too far to walk
    we just hitch a ride

    we got rings of dirt
    around our necks
    we talk like auctioneers
    and we bounce like checks
    we smell like shit
    still, when we walk down the street
    all the boys line up
    to throw themselves at our feet

    I say I think he likes you
    you say I think he do too
    go and get him girl
    before he gets you
    I'll be watching you
    from the wings
    I will come to your rescue
    if he tries anything

    it's a long long road
    it's a big big world
    we are wise wise women
    we are giggling girls
    we both carry a smile
    to show when we're pleased
    we both carry a switchblade
    in our sleeves

    tell you one thing
    I'm gonna make noise when I go down
    for ten square blocks
    they're gonna know I died
    all the goddesses will come up
    to the ripped screen door
    and say,
    what do you want, dear?
    and I'll say,
    I want inside

    I say I think he likes you
    you say I think he do too
    go and get him girl
    before he gets you
    I'll be watching you
    from the wings
    I will come to your rescue
    if he tries anything
