Paula Cole - Hard To Be Soft

Текст песни

Where’s my white knight
My prince to save the day?
I’ve always paved my own way
I’m all alone, Bringing home the bread
Raising the kid, fi xing the bed
I wanna be a star, Like Marilyn Monroe
A Cinderella Fantasy, A naive Clara Bow
A princess and the pea, I try to play the part
Surrounded by society, Hypnotizing me
It’s hard to be soft
I’m all alone, At the mommy and me
Wishing for some company
I’m the only one, Keeping the home alive
Making the meals, She’s 9 to 5
I wanna have a star, Like Marilyn Monroe
A Cinderella fantasy, A naive Clara Bow
A princess and the pea, We try to play the part
Surrounded by society, Hypnotizing me
It’s hard to be soft
Out there on my own
Successful in the world
It works to be so strong
But when I come home
My pendulum’s outta control
I’m passive or I let my fi re blow
In a man’s world it’s hard to be soft
I don’t want to be a star
Like Marilyn Monroe
A Cinderella fantasy
A naive Clara Bow
A princess and the pea
I try to play the part
Surrounded by society
Hypnotizing me to be
Home-baked apple pie
A centerfold in heels
A Betty Crocker Pamela
Complacent to believe
In my Mr. Right
A pipe and slippers guy
A ready, steady, rock-hard Eddy
Oops not always, guess it’s only
Hard to be soft
