Say, there's somethin' in your eyes
That always keeps you near to me
It's that somethin' deep behind
The person you appear to be
Who gave you your Hard Shell
Cos baby, you don't wear it well
It's only a cry for help
And this I tell you
There's someplace in my heart
That always will belong to you
But I don't know where to start
Puttin' right what I done wrong to you
'Cos you gave me my Hard Shell
And Baby I don't wear it well
Yeah it's only a cry for help
This I tell you
And I swear,
And I pray
Cos I'm a-going nowhere, day by day
Can't we give ourselves,
One more try
And we'll throw away the Hard Shells
In our stride
And we'll throw away the Hard Shells
In our stride
Oh yeah,
Ooh yeah
There's a burnin' in my heart
That isn't gettin' over you
I'm turnin' over every stone in my yard
Trying to find my way back home to you
And I'm breaking this Hard Shell
Cos Baby, I don't wear it well
Yeah it's only a cry for help
And this I tell you
Breaking this Hard Shell
'Cos Baby, I don't wear it well
Yeah it's only a cry for help
And this I tell you
Hmmmm
