So Hard To Get
Kevin Parent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
headaches and sweat
Yet I'm the one who wants to be your pet
With your Dark dirty eyes
Eccentric styles
And a quasi perverted delinquent
Smile
No pity no pride
Your salty words leave my heart
In a brine
Cause I always thought I was made for
you and we would live happily evermore!
We could fi sh for love
Like musical crooks
I bring bait
And you the hooks
Then I'd show you my roots
And cook you bamboo shoots
Or serenade you moon-walking playing
the pan fl ute
I just want to entertain your wizard
within
Your muse and your mentor
And your next of kin
Ya see I always thought I was made for
you and we would live happily evermore!
So don't blame me for dreaming
You're so sweet when screaming
Let me be the one you're looking for
It's a win-win deal
So ripe to peel
We could live happily evermore
You're so hard to get you gimme me
headaches and sweat
Yet I'm the one who wants to be your pet
With your Dark dirty eyes
Eccentric styles
And a quasi perverted delinquent
Smile
I'd love to have a dream with your wizard
within
Your muse and your mentor
And your next of kin
Cause I always thought I was made for
you and we would live happily evermore!
