She's a hard girl to know
Just when you think that you've
read her mind
She'll sabotage you, leave you blind
And the world turns on its head
She's a hard girl to know
Just when you think
she's half way sane
She'll resurrect some more campaign
And turn on you instead
But then she'll do
something just for you
So out -and -out loving,
so out -and -out true
The beauty scares you half to death
It takes away dark and doubt and breath
And she turns back into that girl, your girl
And the smell of her perfume,
perfumes the world
She's a hard girl to know
Chase her, she's gone like
a wind off the wisp
And that old sadness is
hard to resist
And the world's dark as a cave
She's a hard girl to know
You can't ask her the questions,
it is n't much use
There's no explanation,
there'll be no excuse
And you feel used up like a sled
But then you notice the tear
in the wings
Shift ing the scenery, pulling the strings
And you see that mountain
you had to climb
That you didn't believe
you could at the time
With her twisted way
of making you strong
And easing and teasing
you further along
She's a hard girl to know
In the act of giving,
is she taking your side
Like there's somebody else
in the back of her eyes
You've nev er met before
She's a hard girl to know
And she acts so different
with the people she
You wonder whose heart
is the heart that beats
At the center, the essence,
the core
And then she'll do something so reckless,
so wild
That you'll see in the woman
the soul of the child
And the child's saying,
never let go of my hand
It's a deep ocean, so drink all you can
Drink till you drown in it,
swallow the sea
Lose your confusion and drown in me
