Hard To Be Soft - Paula Cole

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
