I know you think that I protest too much
|
I'm like a Diva with the tragic touch
|
But if I wanna hide from the pouring sun
|
It has to be alright
|
And I can have my pride, but I'll turn and run
|
When a fool would stand and fight
|
And if I try - hard enough
|
To do or die - and push and shove
|
I know that I would be too tough
|
Too tough to fall in love
|
With you
|
You've really gotten underneath my skin
|
Must have been easy, it was always thin
|
So if I wanna cry in the burning rain
|
Don't worry, I'll survive
|
But even when you're high, I can feel your pain
|
That's what I call being alive
|
So if I fall - I'll get back up
|
And there'll be tears - and blood and stuff
|
Still I stand tall - but not too tough
|
Too tough to fall in love
|
With you
|
And I can see your point of view
|
But I can't see a way to be tough too
|
Tough too
|
You know I hate it when you talk this way
|
'Cause you don't listen to a word you say
|
And it took a lot of time to grow your shell
|
Maybe enough's enough
|
And I could tell you why you should go to hell
|
But I don't want to be that tough
|
And if I try - hard enough
|
To do or die - and push and shove
|
I know that I would be too tough
|
Too tough to fall in love
|
With you
|
