Tough Lyrics

Verse 1
I wanted lace, I wanted pearls
To be a princess like the other girls
But life came hard, to my front door
And I spent my time tryin' to even out the score

Chorus
Tough, I ain't ever been nothin' but tough
All my edges have always been rough
But Jesus loves me anyway
Back off, there ain't nothin wrong with a woman that got a little backbone
Just wait til you taste her kind of love
You wanna shy little thing, a pretty little high-heel thing
Gonna cry if I don't polish up
Tough

Verse 2
The way I see it, the hands of fate
did me a favor with the cards he delt my way
Found out real fast life is a game
You're out real quick if you dont know how to play...

Chorus
Tough, I ain't ever been nothin' but tough
All my edges have always been rough
But Jesus loves me anyway
Back off, there ain't nothin wrong with a woman that got a little backbone
Just wait til you taste her kind of love
You wanna shy little thing, a pretty little high-heel thing
Gonna cry if I don't polish up
Tough

Are you serious? You ain't fooled me much. You just hangin' round so you can try your luck.

Tough, I ain't never been nothin but tough. All my edges have always been rough.
You wanna a shy little thing, a pretty little high-heel thing
Gonna cry if I don't polish up.
You know what I gotta say about that is Tough
