You Can't Be Too Strong Lyrics - Graham Parker

One, two, three, four 

Did they tear it out with talons of steel 

And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel? 

And washed it away as if it wasn't real? 

It's just a mistake I won't have to face 

Don't give it a name, don't give it a place 

Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way 

It must have felt strange to find me inside you 

I hadn't intended to stay 

If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night 

Squeeze it until it could say 

You can't be too strong 

You can't be too strong 

You can't be too strong 

Can't be too strong 

You decide what's wrong

Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm gonna rejoice 

And shout myself dry and go see the boys 

They'll laugh when I say I left it overseas 

Yeah babe, I know it gets dark, down by Luna Park 

But everybody else is squeezing out a spark 

That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark, in the dark 

The doctor gets nervous completing the service 

He's all rubber gloves and no head 

Yes, he fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch 

Wishes to God he was dead 

But you can't be too strong 

You can't be too strong 

You can't be too strong 

Can't be too strong 

You decide what's wrong

Can't be too hard 

Too tough, too rough 

Too right, too wrong 

And you can't be too strong 

Baby can't be too right
