I know I may seem tough,
and that I can play rough.
I may seem like I've got one point of view,
but really I can be sweet, too!
I can fight and I can curse,
but I can still find loneliness worse.
I may seem a wisp of apathy,
but really I can be sweet, too!
I can put you down just as much as I could lift you up.
I can take from you as easily as I could give too much.
I could brush your hair out of your eyes and I could hold you close,
and I could sing for you alone when all the lights are low....
I want to be married in a church (not right now, but sometime soon).
I may seem impenetrably hard,
but, really, I can be soft, too.
And I wish I didn't think that you'd be good for me,
or that I'd be good for you.
I may seem to be a sad pessimist,
but, oh, I can dream, too!
I want to be married in a church,
and I wound about my groom.
I may seem impenetrably hard, but really, I can be soft, too.
