I Will Dare Lyrics

Artist: The Replacements
Album: Let It Be

How young are you?
How old am I?
Let's count the rings around my eyes
How smart are you?
How dumb am I?
Don't count any of my advice

Oh, meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now I don't care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I might dare

Call me on Thursday, if you will
Or call me on Wednesday, better still
Ain't lost yet, so I gotta be a winner
Fingernails and a cigarette's a lousy dinner
Young, are you?

Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now, I don't care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare

It's fingernails. He's talking about nerves. They're lousy. Don't be nervous. Dare.

And holy shit, it makes me so happy to see a fifth grader loving this song. If I had the Mats in high school, things would have been a whole lot easier.

this not the real i will DARE song!

by john on 11/5/2010 5:51pm
Yes, lisa, it is. Any other song called 'i will dare' is obviously inferior to this.

i love this song

It's definitely bacon, especially since so many people agree that that is what they heard too. If not, well I don't think Paul Westerberg would really give a shit.

ITS BACON!!!!!! ( I lived this song)

bacon or fingernails? it's driving me nuts cause I can hear either one I want if I just expect it. super ambiguous sounding lyric - good job replacements! (i'm sticking with bacon though)

It is certainly 'bacon'. It is not even ambiguous.
