"out of me" by Ani DiFranco


(soft instrumental intro, then rockin')
 
 no no no no no no no no no no no no
 no more
 
 it's gonna be sudden
 it's gonna be strange
 i'm gonna turn on a dime
 give you 5 cents change
 it's gonna be long
 overdue
 it's all gonna come out
 out of me, on to you
 
 out of me
 on to you
 
 one of these days you're gonna push too hard
 we'll go on like we've always done
 till you go too far
 one of these days it's gonna reach the top
 then it's gonna start to spill 
 and it's not gonna stop
 
 out of me
 on to you... 

 no more
 
 some people wear their smile like a disguise
 those people who smile a lot watch the eyes
 i know cause i'm like that a lot
 you think everything's okay 
 it is till it's not
 
 out of me
 on to you...
 
 no more

 some people wear their heart up on their sleave
 i wear mine underneath my right pant leg strapped to my boot
 don't think cause i'm easy i'm naive
 don't think i won't pull it out
 don't think i won't shoot
 
 out of me
 on to you...
 
 no more
 
 most people like to talk a lot
 including you
 you know there isn't much i have to say
 that i wouldn't rather just shut up and do
 i'm gonna miss you when you're gone
 i'm gonna be torn
 just remember that i love you
 just remember you were warned
 
 out of me
 on to you...
 
 no more
 no more.
