If It Isn't Her - Ani DiFranco

Standing like John Wayne

She is full framed

She is center stage

And my imagination is Rattling in its cage

I didn’t really notice

When everything else disappeared

But as far as I’m concerned

If it isn’t her

It isn’t here

She says do I know you

I say well, no, not biblically

But I’ve been waiting for you come

And talk to me

I have been playing

Too many of those boy girl games

She says honey you are safe here

This is a girl girl thing

I told him I loved him

So he thought I’d roll over and play dead

He was god’s gift to hypocrisy

With weak knees and a big fat head

She says honey don’t tell me That old story

You are boring me Just tell me do you like me Tell me what you’re gonna do Now that you’re free

Standing like John Wayne

She is full framed

She is center stage

And my imagination is rattling in its cage

I didn’t really notice

When everything else disappeared

But as far as I’m concerned

If it isn’t her

It isn’t here

As far as I’m concerned

If it isn’t her
