Ani Difranco Round A Pole Lyrics

Round A Pole Lyrics

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 know I wanted to be challenged

But I was unclear about how

So I'll be the guy with the toolbox

And you be the fun-lovin' gal



And I'll learn to fix stuff

If you will teach me to love

And God'll radiate out from within us

Instead of this bullshit from above



And we could dance 'round like monkeys

After the paparazzi have gone home

Having let go forever

The fallacy of ever being alone



I could sing you 'round a pole

Like a ball at the end of a rope

Have you ducking 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'll learn to fix stuff

If you will teach me to love

And God'll radiate out from within us

Instead of this bullshit from above



We can dance 'round like monkeys

After the paparazzi have gone home

Having let go forever

The fallacy of ever being alone
