I’m tougher than nails
Ask anyone I know
They’ll all tell you the same thing
There’s nothing I can’t do
No mountain I can’t go over
No crisis I can’t overcome
One of the strongest people they know
But do you know what I really want?
I would like to be held
Have a man’s shoulder to cry on
Be rocked in his arms
Do you know what I really want?
I’d like to be taken care of
Treasured and protected
Loved, respected, and nurtured
But, hey,
There’s a lot to be said for strength
Pure endurance under fire
Keeping my power intact
Even while being repeatedly attacked
But yet,
Do you know what I really want?
I would like to cry
And not be called weak
Be lifted by two stronger arms
Carried to a safe place
Then sleep in the protection of his embrace
Do I want too much?
