Protection
By Ben Folds
Written by Ben Folds

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

And I guess I will protect myself from you
Sometimes I get so tickled that I just can't talk
Then I will protect myself from you
And keep on reminding me I'm always free
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 more of what you've got
A little
But don't make me laugh

And I guess I will protect myself from you
Sometimes I get so tickled that I just can't talk
Then I will protect myself from you
And I'll keep reminding me I'm always free
I'm always free to walk

Like they say it's a free country anyway
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 that I just can't talk
Well like I said I will protect myself from you
And I'll keep reminding me I'm always free
I'm always free to walk
Always free
Free
Free to walk

You can't
You can't hurt me
'Cause I don't care about you
I don't give a shit
I don't give a shit
About you
