Support System - Liz Phair

I don’t need a support system

Lifting me into prop-position

What I need is a man of action, I need my attraction to you

Driving me down all those dangerous avenues

Lions and tigers tearing at their food

(whistle break)

I know the gossip

Flies around at breakfast

One of them rings in your hand

Where do you get the fuck off thinking

I was there at the party 'cause

All of my friends feed me evil reasons

Why you and I should not be friends…

Let’s think this whole thing through

Tell me, just what the hell is a lover supposed to do?

I got the wrong reaction

A slap in the face from you

(whistle break:

This is such a stupid picture

Wrap me in a steak Why don’t you

Throw it in the panther cage and

Maybe then I’ll like you better (No Way))

I don’t need a support system

Lifting me into prop-position

What they make is a separation of beauty from attitude

What satisfaction is left when all you do tells everyone

You’re acting untrue

(whistle break:

This is such a stupid picture

Light a cigarette why don’t you

Stub it in a carburetor

Maybe then you’ll sell me something

(No Way))

I don’t need a support system

Put your hand on my heart and listen

What I need is a dedication to last me all the way through

Pointing the finger, I’m counting on loving you

Over and above the passion

I’m connected to you
