"Porcupine" lyrics

"Porcupine"

She's a porcupine
She's a porcupine
Not your cuddly kind
Not the least refined
She's a porcupine
Save your Valentine

Uninvited to the big soiree
'Cause she rubs the folks the wrong, wrong way
Rough around the edges, you might say
Nothing wrong with that is what I'd say

Oh dear, oh my
She's fine

And I've always had a thick, thick hide
And I think I've found her softer side

She's a porcupine
She's a porcupine
Not your cuddly kind
Not the least refined
She's a porcupine
Save your Valentine

I respect the choices that you've made
In return, accept the ones I've made
All your views about diversity
May be tested to the Nth degree

Oh dear, oh my
She's fine

Unapologetic in her style
But she grows on you, it takes a while

She's a porcupine
Not your cuddly kind
Save your Valentine
And your fine French wine
She's a porcupine
And I call her mine

I'm not saying everything is smooth
Truth be told it's almost never smooth
She is gruffer than the folks in France
But I know her in the ways you can't

She's a porcupine, she's a porcupine
She's a porcupine, she's a porcupine

She's a porcupine
Not your cuddly kind
Save your Valentine
And your fine French wine
She's a porcupine
And I call her mine
