Protection Lyrics - Ben Folds

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 

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 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 okay 

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-are-E-E 

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 

Whoa 

The pussy ass 

Sounds of white people 

Playing jazz
