Girl In His Corner

Bed of robbers, bed of thieves
Would have to come through him to get to me
And he's a quick wit, good in a buckle fight
And I'm a big hit
You should see the other guy

I was a pacifist, still am at my door
Now I have something worth fighting for
He's a tall knight writing me greeting cards
So I'm a small fly
Watching for killer sharks
I loved him in a shot glass
By the time he poured the salt
I'd have died for him and
Said it was my fault

'Cause it could be freezing winter
Middle of the night
All our enemies standing in
His front porch light
When the gun backfires
It's an all out slaughter
That's me, the girl in his corner
Bleeding baby, red onto the curb
'Cause if he's going down
Guess I'm going down first
When the cops on the scene ask
'who did he fall for?'
That's me, the girl in his corner
The girl in his corner
The girl in his corner
The girl in his corner

It was a massacre of the 9th degree
Yeah, the whole world wanted a piece of me
I was stick thin, sleeping, so unaware
So he kicked in the door like it wasn't there

And he told me all
Those labradors were wolves and he was right
Couldn't see it 'til I saw it in his eyes
'Cause it could be freezing winter
Middle of the night
All our enemies standing in
His front porch light
When the gun backfires
It's an all out slaughter
That's me, the girl in his corner
Bleeding baby, red onto the curb
'Cause if he's going down
Guess I'm going down first
When the cops on the scene ask
'who did he fall for?'
That's me, the girl in his corner
The girl in his corner
The girl in his corner
The girl in his corner

I have his heart on my sleeve
Like a bulletproof vest
So I don't have to worry anymore
I hold his hand 'stead of
My keys in the darkness
Search me while on the bar room floor
I got a meat punch, for a first time offender
Yeah, the judge couldn't keep score
And if you hurt him honey, you'll see me next
Angel of justice at your door

So it could be freezing winter
Middle of the night
All our enemies standing in
His front porch light
When the gun backfires
It's an all out slaughter
That's me, the girl in his corner
Bleeding baby, red onto the curb
'Cause if he's going down
Guess I'm going down first
When the cops on the scene ask
'who did he fall for?'
That's me, the girl in his corner
