If It Isn't Her Lyrics - Imperfectly - 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 

It isn't here
