Tough

I wanted lace, I wanted pearls To be a princess like the other girls But life came hard to my front door And I grew up tryin' to even up the score Tough; I ain't never been nothin' but tough All my edges have always been rough But Jesus loves me anyway; oh backbone, There ain't nothin' wrong with a woman that got a little backbone You just wait 'till you taste her kind of love You want a shy little thing A pretty little high-heeled thing Gonna cry if I don't polish up Tough The way I see it, the hand of Fate Did me a favor, with the cards he dealt my way Found out real fast life is a game You're out real quick if you don't know how to play Tough; I ain't never been nothin' but tough All my edges have always been rough But Jesus loves me anyway; oh backbone, There ain't nothin' wrong with a woman that got a little backbone You just wait -till you taste her kind of love You want a shy little thing A pretty little high-heeled thing Gonna cry if I don't polish up I'll be serious, you ain't fooled me much You're still hangin' 'round so you can try your luck With tough; I ain't never been nothin' but tough All my edges have always been rough You want a shy little thing A pretty little high-heeled thing Gonna cry if I don't polish up You know what I gotta say about that is tough
