Guess you heard I’m hard to get to know
Probably true, so take it slow
Wait, before you run for the exit
Take a peek inside me

I’m tired of being locked-down in my prime
Tired of wasting precious time
But this is one border crossing
You won’t soon forget
Before you get real with me
You’ve got to deal with

Checkpoint Charlie
Standing in your way
Vous lui parlez
Or you’re there to stay

Maybe it’s a lonely state of mind
Could be I’m immune to humankind
Even if you come with your “A” game
I might soon forget
I’m that hard to get to
’Cause Chuckie won’t let you

He’s in the cold
He’s on the night patrol
He’s got soul
He’s on guard
He’s in my own backyard
He’s a diehard

You tell me that I’m hard to get to know
Probably true, so take it
Moment to moment
Rock your documents
Before you get real with me
You’ve got to deal with
