Support System Lyrics - Whip-smart - Liz Phair

I don't need a support system, lifting me into prop position 

What I need is a man of action, I need my attraction to you 

Driving me down all those dangerous avenues 

Lions and tigers tearing at their food 

I know the gossip flies around at breakfast 

One of them reins is in your hand 

Where do you get the fuck off thinking I was there at the party? 

'Cause all my friends feed me the evil reasons 

Why you and I should not be friends? 

Let's think this whole thing through 

Tell me, just what the hell is a lover supposed to do? 

I got the wrong reaction, a slap in the face from you 

This is such a stupid picture 

Wrap me in a steak 

Why don't you throw me in the panther cage? 

And maybe then I'll like you better 

No way 

I don't need a support system, lifting me into prop position 

What they make is a separation of beauty from attitude 

What satisfaction is left when all you do 

Tells everyone you're acting untrue? 

This is such a stupid picture 

Light a cigarette 

Why don't you stub it in the carburetor 

And maybe then you'll sell me something 

No way 

I don't need a support system, put your hand on my heart and listen 

What I need is a dedication to last me all the way through 

Pointing the finger, I'm counting on loving you 

Over and above the passion, I'm connected to you
