Lyrics
?Soft Side?

(verse)
May I talk to you Mr. Mirror?
And let?s keep it between us
?Cause you?re the only person
I feel I can trust
I want to bring someone special
Into my life
Make her my partner,
Or make her my wife
(pre-chorus)
But I?ve tried that once before
I?m not going to try that anymore
?Cause broken hearts take too long to heal
(verse)
I hide behind a shell
So no one can tell
That I?ve been hurt before
Some say I?m gruff
And not nice enough
Well I don?t care anymore
(pre-chorus)
I?m won?t let anyone in
Not ever again
?Cause broken hearts take too long to heal
(chorus)
There?s a soft side that I hide
Deep down within me
There?s a soft side that I hide
Not very many people are ever going to see
(musical interlude, sax solo)
(chorus)
I was loved once in the past
But her loving did not last
And my broken heart took forever to heal
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
(chorus,adlib out)
