The Roches - Too Tough Hide lyrics

TOO TOUGH HIDE

Roches

I live in one small room in new york city

Lately I?m afraid to go outside

My friends said stay here and it won?t be pretty

But where could I go with this too tough hide?

The mailman still makes it through I get a lot of mail

Rarely letters with my name spelled right

Mostly envelopes with some sad tale

Hoping to crack open this too tough hide

Too tough hide

Where?d I get this too tough hide

How?d I get this too tough hide

Too tough hide

I went to a party where we watched a movie

If I?d been by myself I would?ve cried

Instead I laughed along so I?d seem groovy

And make you think I got this too tough hide

When 1 got home I asked the bathroom mirror

But it only tells me what?s my better side

I?d have to let another person nearer

To find out what goes on behind this too tough hide

Too tough hide

Where?d I get this too tough hide

How?d I get this too tough hide

Too tough hide
