lyrics

SOFT

I can pinch a penny, but I can’t save a dime,
The kids are never ready for school on time.
I try and I try to dress right, but my skirt’s always too high,
I always piss you off when I push your hand off my thigh.

You wanted a woman who was soft, but you got one that’s hard,
Only you can you melt my heart,
I’m not the same girl I used to be,
But I might change after everything.

If you want to hear the right words, baby don’t come to me,
I know you’re a good man, my rock, my wounded knee.
But I had to watch my dreams circling the drain,
Now I need to find a way to learn to live again.

You wanted a woman who was soft, but you got one that’s hard
Only you can you melt my heart.
I don’t know where I’m going, but I know where I’ve been,
I might change after everything.

Baby you got that soft touch for my hard-line ways
As my stone cold heart told you from the start,
Softly, softly or I might break
Softly, softly or I might break

You wanted a woman who was soft, but you got one that’s hard
Only you can melt my heart.
I’m not the same girl I used to be,
And I might change after everything,
And I might change after everything,
And I might change after every-every-every-every-thing.
