Too Tough Hide Lyrics - The Roches

I live in one small room in New York City 

Lately I'm afraid to go outside 

My friends said stay here and it won't be pretty 

But where could I go with this too tough hide? 

The mailman still makes it through I get a lot of mail 

Rarely letters with my name spelled right 

Mostly envelopes with some sad tale 

Hoping to crack open this too tough hide 

Too tough hide 

Where'd I get this too tough hide 

How'd I get this too tough hide 

Too tough hide 

I went to a party where we watched a movie 

If I'd been by myself I would've cried 

Instead I laughed along so I'd seem groovy 

And make you think I got this too tough hide 

When one got home I asked the bathroom mirror 

But it only tells me what's my better side 

I'd have to let another person nearer 

To find out what goes on behind this too tough hide 

Too tough hide 

Where'd I get this too tough hide 

How'd I get this too tough hide 

Too tough hide
