Lyrics Fend It Off - Stone Gossard

He intermitted honesty by adding up his dignity
He put it in his pocketbook, a wooden nickle in his sheath
(That's why we say)
Love, fend it off
(We say)
Love, fend it off
He'd leave her heart in misery
She'd leave it in his company
If ever he would relegate
A love for her to imitate
(We say)
Love, fend it off
(That's why we say)
Love, fend it off
(You know we say)
Love, fend it off
Fend it off
I've fallen from grace
In a million disguises
All over this game
There's a lot to be said
For the women who fled me
All gone, you're still stained
