The Roches - Too Tough Hide lyrics

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
