I want somebody who sees the pointlessness
And still keeps their purpose in mind
I want somebody who has a tortured soul
Some of the time
I want somebody who will either put out for me
Or put me out of my misery
Or maybe just put it all to words
And make me say, you know
I never heard it put that way
Make me say, what did you just say?
I want somebody who can hold my interest
Hold it and never let it fall
Someone who can flatten me
With a kiss that hits like a fist
Or a sentence that stops me
Like a brick wall
If you hear me talking
Listen to what I'm not saying
If you hear me playing guitar
Listen to what I'm not playing
And don't ask me to put words
To all the spaces between notes
Don't ask me to put words
To all the silences I wrote
In fact if you have to ask, forget it
Do and you'll regret it
I'm tired of being the interesting one
I'm tired of having fun for two
Just lay yourself on the line
And I might lay myself down by you
But don't sit behind your eyes
And wait for me to surprise you
I want somebody who
Can make me scream until it's funny
Give me a run for my money
I want someone who can
Twist me up in knots
Tell me, for the woman who has everything
What have you got?
I want someone who's not afraid of me
Or anyone else
In other words I want someone
Who's not afraid of themself
Do you think I'm asking too much?

Ani DiFranco (nata Angela Marie Di Franco) è una cantautrice, musicista e attivista americana di origini italo-americane. Considerata un'icona del folk alternativo e della musica indipendente, DiFranco si distingue per la sua voce potente, le sue liriche introspettive e il suo stile musicale eclettico che fonde elementi di folk, rock, hip hop e jazz. Iniziò a suonare in locali underground all'età di 16 anni, pubblicando il suo primo album indipendente nel 1990. DiFranco ha sempre mantenuto un forte controllo creativo sul suo lavoro, fondando la sua etichetta discografica, Righteous Babe Records, nel 1990. La sua musica affronta temi sociali come il femminismo, la giustizia sociale e l'ambiente, guadagnandosi il rispetto di una vasta fanbase che apprezza la sua autenticità e la sua capacità di parlare a un pubblico ampio con sincerità e coraggio. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi figurano "Not A Pretty Girl", "32 Flavors" e "Little Plastic Castle".
