I'M SENSITIVE

 

I was thinking that I might fly today

just to disprove all the things that you say

it doesn't take a talent to be mean

your words can crush things that are unseen

so please be careful with me

I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way

you always tell me that it's impossible

to be respected and be a girl

why's it gotta be so complicated

why you gotta tell me if I'm hated

oh, please be careful with me

I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way

I was thinking that it might do some good

if we robbed the cynics and took all ther food

that way what they believe will have taken place

and we'll give it everybody who has some faith

so please be careful with me

I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way

I have this theory that if we're told we're bad

then that's the only idea we'll ever have

but maybe if we are surrounded in beauty

someday we will become what we see

'cos anyone can start a conflict

it's harder yet to disregard it

I'd rather see the world from another angle

we are everyday angels

be careful with me

'cos I'd like to stay that way
