you don't have to be a turtle 3

you're always hoping and a-wishing
you weren't ruled by your emotions
you're always asking for permission
that's why your heart's forever broken
if you want to change
the shape it's in
you're going to have to get
a thicker skin

          you don't have to be a turtle
          but you need a shell
          to protect you from
          rejection
          you know, love's the highest hurdle
          so respect yourself
          take care of your heart
