I wish I was a hard man,
who men look at in fear.
I wish I was a hard man,
who women palpitate for in fear
I wish I was a hard man
so friends wouldn’t call for help
in the middle of the night
I wish I was a hard man,
so women wouldn’t love me,
as a friend.
Then I wouldn’t have the responsibility I have,
of love.

“ta” is Aussie slang for thank you
i could use a more flexable man
I like where this took me…past my calluses.
