Hard Man

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.
