You think you're denying me of something
Well I've got plenty
You're the one who's missing out
But you won't notice

'Til after five years
If you'll live that long
You'll wake up
All loveless

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

I'm so bored with cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love
You can't handle love
You just can't handle

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

What's so scary
Not a threat in sight
You just can't handle
You can't handle love

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

I'm so bored of cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you, I dare you
I dare you, I dare you

    I listened this song for the first time when I was in love with someone and he knew it, and he didnt take me. Helped me a lot to cope with the angerness and denial that I felt. For me, Bjork experienced the same, due to the anger and energy that she sings the lyrics. I didnt feel so alone. =)
