Soft Like Me Lyrics - Saint Etienne

Soft like wildflowers by rivers and streams 

Thoughts washing over me like the stuff of my dreams 

And I see it coming true 

We'll be soft like you, we'll be soft like you 

Hey, do you wanna be 

Or don't you wanna be 

Soft like me 

Hey, do you wanna be 

Or don't you wanna be 

Soft like me 

I used to wonder why big boys don't cry 

'Cause they were always taught to hold it deep inside 

Hide the feelings, they bubble to the top when it's all going off 

Better put 'em up, let 'em know you're tough

And remember they won't take backtalk 

Then you should never let them walk 

And son, if you run back to me defenseless 

Then, boy, I'm a wanna beat you senseless 

And that's daddy doing what he can 

To make that boy a man, I have a different plan 

Baby, I'll encourage you to be expressive not aggressive 

More soft around the edges just like me 

Hey, do you wanna be 

Or don't you wanna be 

Soft like me 

Hey, do you wanna be 

Or don't you wanna be 

Soft like me 

Little girls are made of everything nice, we pay the price 

For wearing hearts on sleeves, I still believes 

We hold the key to the better way to be 

With feminine energy I touch the universe 

Photos 

But what came first was peace to all mankind 

But in this time and a hard life I'm having a hard time 

With growing a thick skin 'cause I soak up all the hurt 

And hold it all within and I've been this way from day 

I never got no hugs when I fell down in the play ground 

Maybe it would be different now 

But how a mother's love gave so much to us, too 

Made us soft but strong just like you 

I see it coming true, we'll be soft like you 

Hey, do you wanna be 

Or don't you wanna be 

Soft like me 

Hey, do you wanna be 

Or don't you wanna be 

Soft like me 

Yeah, you're a tough guy and a hard knot 

Say you wanna do it, oh but a big butt 

Scared to get into it 'cause when you gave your love and trust 

Your heart got crushed, in a rush 

Head got twisted up, files went corrupt, your system overload 

As you went chugging down that lovely road 

You could take the physical blows but emotional lows 

Left him on the ropes 

Somehow she always copes with the pain 

And comes back again 

Like, yeah, you know me, girl stay ready for the world 

From the red corner, stay warmer 

Born in optimistic hoping that his heart will open 

Hey, do you wanna be 

Or don't you wanna be 

Soft like me 

Hey, do you wanna be 

Or don't you wanna be 

Soft like me 

Hey, do you wanna be 

Or don't you wanna be 

Soft like me
