i guess i'm just a little too sensitive lyrics

I used to do my utmost to suspend belief
Until the day it hit me like a kick in the teeth
In the sensitivity stakes you're less than a non starter
You don't need a lover you need a sparring partner

I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
For you

When you say your love is as bold as a flag
I say all I've got to show's a tattered rag
I guess I'll never learn to take the rough with the smooth
I'll never learn to live with that much abuse

I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
For you

I came home from work each evening
To collapse in a heap at your knees
Now I'm gonna take a rest cure
I'll rent a cottage by the sea
