Hard To Be Soft Lyrics


Where's my white knight, my prince to save the day?
I've always paved my own way
I'm all alone bringin' home the bread
Raisin' the kid, fixin' the bedI 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, hypnotizin' me
It's hard to be softI'm all alone, keepin' the home alive
Makin' the meals, she's 9 to 5
I'm the only one at the mommy and me
Lookin' for some companyI 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, hypnotizin' me
It's hard to be softOut there on my own, successful in the world
It works to be so strong
But when I come home, my pendulum's out of control
I'm passive or I let my fire glow

In a man's world, it's hard to be softI don't wanna be 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, hypnotizin' me to beHome-baked apple pie, a centerfold in heels
A Betty Crocker Pamela complacent to believe
Ain't 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

“An extraordinary songwriter with a gorgeous voice” – Rolling Stone
“… a feisty poet with a soaring voice and a funky groove.” – Entertainment Weekly
“Paula is an original voice both in what she is saying and how she is saying it.” – Peter Gabriel.

Grammy winner and 7 time Grammy nominee Paula Cole has released six solo albums spanning an eighteen year career. She has sold approximately three million albums and has performed with icons in many genres of music from Peter Gabriel to Dolly Parton (and many more.) Cole’s emotionally deep and thrilling performances are a trademark. Poetic and fiercely touching, intelligent writing makes Cole stand apart. Her compositions have been covered by Herbie Hancock, Annie Lennox, Katherine McPhee to name a few. From a small town in Massachusetts Paula Cole was raised in a musical family with whom she and her daughter remain close. Cole is a scholarship alumna from Berklee College of Music with a background in jazz, received her first record deal with a jazz label (which she declined), and has collaborated with many jazz artists. Paula teaches and gives clinics in a spirit of giving back to the circle of music. With a loving allegiance to her fans, she maintains loyal communication online and after her live shows. As the first woman in history to solely produce and receive the best Producer Grammy nomination for her work, “This Fire”, Cole has broken boundaries with a searcher’s spirit. From her top ten hits of the 1990’s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums, Paula Cole continues to write, produce, record and perform heartfelt, meaningful, lasting music that defies categorization.
