If He Tries Anything


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
