So many years of fighting off the world | So many years of fighting off the world | ||
Has left me with scars on my | Has left me with scars on my hand | ||
At times I thought I'd die from the wounds I received | At times I thought I'd die from the wounds I received | ||
But now I wanna make you understand | But now I wanna make you understand | ||
My bark is worse than my bite | My bark is worse than my bite | ||
Don't be afraid to touch me | My feelings are out in plain sight | ||
Don't be afraid to touch me | |||
Don't be afraid to love me, baby | |||
You are such a teacher to me | You are such a teacher to me; you are so gentle | ||
If I am rough you wilt away | If I am rough you wilt right away | ||
Or shatter into pieces and I am left with nothing | Or shatter into pieces, and I am left with nothing | ||
I'm learning to be kinder everyday | I'm learning to be kinder everyday | ||
My bark is worse than my bite | My bark is worse than my bite | ||
Don't be afraid to touch me | My feelings are out in plain sight | ||
Don't be afraid to touch me | |||
Don't be afraid to love me, baby | |||
But don't get me pissed off | But don't get me pissed off | ||
Cuz I'll bite your pretty head off | 'Cuz I'll bite your pretty head off | ||
And I'll regret the day | And I'll regret the day | ||
I drove | I drove your love away | ||
I've always been mean | I've always been mean | ||
I wreck each happy scene | I wreck each happy scene | ||
And I regret the day | And I regret the day | ||
I drove | I drove your love away | ||
My bark is worse than my bite | My bark is worse than my bite | ||
Don't be afraid to touch me | My feelings are out in plain sight | ||
Don't be afraid to touch me | |||
Don't be afraid to love me, baby | |||
