I guess i'm just a little too sensitive

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
