Round A Pole Lyrics - Red Letter Year - Ani Difranco

I could sing you 'round a pole 

I could talk you up a tree 

But when it comes to what really matters 

You are way more clever than me 

I knew I wanted to be challenged 

But I was unclear about how 

So I'll be the guy with a tool box 

And you be the fun-lovin' gal 

And I'll learn to fix stuff 

If you will teach me to love 

And god will radiate out from within us 

'Stead of this bullshit from above 

We can dance around like monkeys 

After the paparazzi have gone home 

Having let go forever 

Of the fallacy of ever being alone 

I could sing you round a pole 

Like a ball at the end of a rope 

Have you duckin' and sluggin' 

Protecting your head 

But I decided just to love you back instead 

'cause I have studied my own pain 

Like an ambitious scientist 

And I've discovered it's all the same 

And has nothing to do with this 

So I will learn to fix stuff 

If you will teach me to love 

And god will radiate out from within us 

'Stead of this bullshit from above 

We can dance around like monkeys 

After the paparazzi have gone home 

Having let go forever of the fallacy of ever being alone
