He tells me what to look for
He tells me to watch out
With his eyes on my bear shoulders
He says he'll look over me
Then he wonders why I don't call him back you see
You see I got this clever explanation
For my very strange behavior
I'm out of town forever, I got married by the river
To my life, I will be my own wife
I will be my own, I will be my very own
I will be my own, I will be my very own
See there are people who will love you
Like a hurricane hits
And there are people who will love you
Like you're the thing that they can't quit
But when I call my lover crying
To tell him my bad dream
You can rest easy knowing
It was your face that I seen and it was no dream
So if one man more tells me how he's
Going to watch out for me tonight
I'm going to down 4 shots of whiskey straight
And get in my first bar fight
I'm going to down 6 shots of whiskey straight
And get in my first bar fight
I'm going to down 8 shots of whiskey straight
And get in my first bar fight
He says I got to love more
Then I got to watch out for danger
He tells me to button up
And when I don't he hoots and hollars
This is a strange world, ain't it?
And getting stranger by the hour
But I will walk the streets at night
Because I just can't be bothered
He tells me what to look for
He tells me to watch out
With his eyes on my bear shoulders
He says he'll look over me
Then he wonders why I don't call him back you see
You see I got this clever explanation
For my very strange behavior
I'm out of town forever, I got married by the river
To my life, I will be my own wife
I will be my own, I will be my very own
I will be my own, I will be my very own
