She has a hard shell around her
A tough nut to crack
She is always on the defensive
Ready for any attack
Anyone can see her shell
How hard she can be
She doesn’t hide it very well
A hard nut is she
And sometimes she would wonder
If she would ever be broken
If anyone would take a chance
And crack her open.
Should she let anyone in
To break down her wall
And get under her skin
Maybe she shouldn’t at all.
Maybe she doesn’t want anyone to know
What she is all about
She doesn’t want her feelings to show
She would rather keep everyone out
But deep down she knows
She wants to be cracked open
And be exposed
Her hard nut to be broken
But then again she would wonder
If she wants to be broken
Maybe it would be better
For her to remain unopened
Maybe if one should come along
She will open slowly
And.if he is the right one
She might open up completely
But she knows deep down
This will never be.
On the other hand
One must understand
She does not want to be cracked open
She likes her shell
She likes it very well
