You Can't Be Too Strong

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 --- You Can't Be Too Strong - Graham Parker
