I wanna take you down, until the morning light
Why don't you come around, and let me treat you right
I'm the one who gave you what you'd never had
You said I should be gentle and be good, but hoped to hell I would be bad
Chorus:
I wanna take you, baby gonna make you gimme tough love
C'mon and please me, take your time and tease me, gimme tough love
I tie you to the rings, I feel your fever rise
We love to do the things that others fantasize
And then you smile and bring me to my knees
But when I try a gentle lullabye, I swear I hear you sighing please
chorus - tough
I never knew how much I needed you till now
But now I know, and tonight I'm gonna show you how
(Instrumental break)
And then, I smile and bring you to your knees
And though I try a gentle lullabye, I swear I hear you sighing please
chorus - give it to me
Gimme tough love, tough!
(Difford/Tilbrook)
There she sits in an empty room
The look on her face says it all
A bruise appears round a crying eye
As the tear drops sadly fall
He knocked her over he hit her
And told her she's stupid
He¡¯s high as a kite once again
She knows that tough love is needed
To save the love of her friend
There he sits in a freezing car
She's in her bed in the warm
The cold light of the morning sky
Finds him cramped and looking worn
He wanders inside on tiptoes
And brews up some coffee
He¡¯s shaking and sweating again
She knows that tough love is needed
To save the love of her friend
They talk it over but it's not easy
Sorting it out
She cannot take it when he tells lies
And sneaks off out of the room
Returning like somebody's lost balloon
Tea leaves sit in an empty cup
No expression on his face
The TV's showing commercials
He's back in her arms again
No more the drugs and the drinking
Her heart can stop sinking
Now that he's home once again
She knows that tough love is needed
To save the love of her friend
They talked it over for hours and hours and hours
¡®Till everything sounded the same
She knows it's tough love that she finds in her heart
To dissolve the pain
[Intro]
Niggaz, niggaz, niggaz, niggaz, niggaz, niggettes
(Yeah) y'all been invited, (welcome)
That's what I'm talkin 'bout
Mobb Deep up in this motherfucker, bring yo' ass in here
Hey yo check it out son, check it out like this
[Havoc]
I keep a hammer on my waist 'cause ain't no steppin' to this
Hey yo don't let you be a problem that I'm fiendin' to fix
You peep the grin on my face that mean I'm creepin' on somethin'
Whether a bad bitch, or a nigga that stole somethin'
Call me a old school cat wit aiyyoung mentality
I live by the day and I go out for family
I don't understand language if it ain't talkin' money
From the era walkin' 'round with knots lookin' bummy
Certain bitches knew the code so they went with the flow
And let you know they wanted fifty-four elevens from the door
We cut school, cooked caine, took traum' to the brain
And though a nigga had it, still hopped the fuckin' train
Look back and laugh but ain't shit funny still
My little brother took his life, forever I'm stuck with a ice grill
Got friends with chemical imbalances
And when the love get tough, believe me it's challengin'
[Hook]
You go out for me, I'm goin' out for you
Tough love (tough love)
It's the crew for one, and one for the crew (yeah)
It's tough love (tough love)
No matter the bullshit the world put us through (*gunshot*)
Tough love (tough love)
Y'all my motherfuckin' niggaz and you know what I'd do
(hey yo check it out)
Bust slugs (bust slugs)
[Prodigy]
It was one of those days you could smell it was 'bout to rain
Parked in the car sittin' in the back seat
Just me and my dun, smokin' the weed
That's when the floor phone rung, "who could this be?" (get back)
"What's good?"
"Yo dun, I got some very bad news"
"Yo who this?"
"Lil' BG from Springfield, and Franny Lou"
"Okay, talk to me"
"Now to make a long story short, Yvesh got bodied at
Precious' party"
"You lyin'"
"That's word to our dead, hear what I said
Now meet me at the rest it's time for get back"
"I'm there"
Dropped off my dun at the Vann's, at Yorke College
Can't believe they killed my man 'Vesh
Why not flip? somebody gotta pay for this
And we know who did it man it's time for that shit
Go around they way and spray them clips
And watch niggaz lay down like naked chicks
[Hook]
You go out for me, I'm goin' out for you
Tough love (tough love)
It's the crew for one, and one for the crew (yeah)
It's tough love (tough love)
No matter the bullshit the world put us through (*gunshot*)
Tough love (tough love)
Y'all my motherfuckin' niggaz and you know what I'd do
(HEY YO CHECK IT OUT)
Bust slugs (bust slugs)
[Havoc]
That's right my niggaz and niggettes

It starts up in the morning when the kids are at school
Hubby's just forbidden by the home of his poo
She walks across the room and she turns on the set
Every show is memorized, she can't forget
Early morning quiz is essential to watch
Would I win a car or a bottle of scotch
All that she can do is sit home and stare
And hope that there she gets a chance to go on the air
[CHORUS:]
'Cause she's a TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Her dreams and fears and wishes and her hopes
Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
For she's a TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
But everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife
TV wife, TV wife
By mid-afternoon the shows have progressed
And anchors all the characters of who she's obsessed
This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth
And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet Earth
Hubby's home and dinner's on the wine or TV
Well, the news is on and it's just too impossible, you see
After twenty tumors, fifteen rapes and countless affairs
I can't watch the news, it's too gross, she declares
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[Solo - Jay Jay]
A TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes
Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
I said a TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
Everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife
TV wife, TV wife
Well, by mid-afternoon you know the shows have progressed
And anchors all the characters with whom you're obsessed
This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth
And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet Earth
Makeups all the cookings on a when it's time for bed
The TV guide is alma for but nothing is said
Will it be a late night movie starring Greer Garson
Or Joey Fisher filling in for airing Johnny Carson
A TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes
Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
For she's a TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
And everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife
TV wife, TV wife, TV wife, TV wife, wooh
[men talking]
Like most motherfuckas I find it hard to commit
Cuz a bitch ain't shit
They smart and they slick
Get ya heart split
Dead in the middle
Fuck a break up
Another brother cuttin in ya cake, enough to make ya
Wanna find a nice spot in the field
But from there you go to hell or jail
Or both
So you just say fuck em
Pull out your nuts and tell all them hoes to suck em
Cuz one bad peach will spoil the whole bunch
She tried to take you to the cleaners cuz you took her to lunch
Treat a woman with love and respect
All a bitch get is a dick shoved in her neck
It's a give and take
You live to make
Decisions together
And be in it for whatever
But some heifers don't even know that
They treat you like gonads
They'll never be ya hoe that
If you want me to love ya
Cuz it's gonna be tough love
If you want me to love ya
It's gonna be tough love
Tough love
If you ain't had enough then I
Tough love
If you want me to love you
It's gonna be tough love
If you want me to love you
It's gonna be tough love
Tough love, I know no other
When our business is just that, it shouldn't go no further
Things come to pass but nothing go in between
It's just us, so why let your friends know everything
And if we got a problem we have to solve it
Don't need another muthafucka to get involved with
Our shit, sniffin our dirty draws
Together we objective we correct certain flaws
I'm hurtin walls and jaws with this dick of mine
You get with any nigga with a smooth pick up line
Will only make matters worse
And have us fightin with words and sayin stuff that'll hurt
It won't help, but only keep us farther apart
Puttin out a flame that no other can start
Love is like a maze and you might get stuck
We can go through it or we can just fuck
Cuz if I'm gonna love ya
It's gonna be tough love
If I'm gonna love you
It's gonna be tough love
Tough love
Tough love
If I'm gonna love you
It's gonna be tough love
If I'm gonna love you
It's gonna be tough love
[men talking]
If I'm gonna love ya
It's gonna be tough love
If I'm gonna love you
Let Me Tell You A Story
It's Called Tough Love
Once Upon A Time There Was A Girl Called Sinita
Dreaded Going Home After School Cause Her Dad Would Mistreat Her.
Her Mom Was Just As Bad When She Got Mad Was More Than Glad In Lend A Hand In Helping Him Beat Her.
Sinita Used To Wear The Cloth Of Her Religion, Senita Used To Pray To God Thought He Was Listening
But Nuffing Was Ever Changing She Cudnt See A Difference
The Relationship Between Her (Role)? Became Distant
She Didn't Agree With The Fundermental Religious Views Of Parents
Might As Well Speaking To Her Jibberis To Her Was Incoherant
She Was Living In The Western World She Cudnt Understand Why She Cudnt Be Like All The Western Girls
So One Day She Rebels
Walks Into A Shop And Perchases A Copy Of A Bliss Magazine For Female Teenagers
Ripped Up The Plastic Wrapper And Started Filcking Through The Pages.
[x2:]
Tough Love, Tough Love I Call It Hatred
Tough Love, Tough Love I Call It Hatred
They Call It Tough Love, I Call It Hatred
Thatz Your Flesh Your Blood Thatz Sacred
So Engrosed In A New Found Interest
Sinita Fails To Relise The Time
Before She Knows It Is A Quarter To Nine
She Shuda Bin Bak From Pray An Hour Ago
Now Her Parents Gunna Know She Skyved
In The Slim Hope That They Won't
She Hides The Copy Of Bliss In The Books Under Her Arm And Makes Her Way Back Home She Opens The Door To Find Her Mom And Dad Waiting
The Expression On Both Of Their Face Are (Skafing?)
Before She Has Time To Think Of An Excuse He Fathers Has His Hand Round Her Neck Like A Nuse
So Tight He Chokes Her She Drops All Her Books On The Floor Apart From The Bliss Magazine That Lands On The Sofa
Dad Can't Control His Rage
When He Sees That The Centre Page Is A Boy Band Posta
"Shes Posessed By The Devil" Mother Shouts
Blaming It All On Saiten Like It Was The Only Explanation
He Grabs Siniter By Her Hair
Goes Down To The Basement Hearts Raising As If She Knows Her Life Is About To Be Taken
Look Up Into His Eyes
Look Heres What We Gunna Do
You've Bin Possessed By A Demon
N We Gunna Beat Him Out Of U
Siniter Cries For Help
She Sees Her Mom Pick Up A Broomstick
And Her Dad Take Off His Belt
But It's No Use Cause Her Brothers And Sisters Won't Listen
So Undetered Her Mom And Dad Carry Out The Exorsism
[x2:]
Tough Love, Tough Love I Call It Hatred
Tough Love, Tough Love I Call It Hatred
They Call It Tough Love, I Call It Hatred
Thatz Your Flesh Your Blood Thatz Sacred
For Hours They Violently Torture Their Daughter Beating Her To An Ince Of Her Life
Until It's Right On The Border
They Continue To Phyiscally (Hored)? Her
By Now Siniter Has A Mental Disorder
She No Longer Cares If She Lives Or Dies
Absolutely No More Tears Left To Cry
She See The Evilness In Their Parents Eyes
N Finks They The Ones Who Need To Be Exorisised
That's When The Rebelious Streak Complete It Intoxicates Her Sudden Energy Boost And Never Seen Before Her Agressive Nature
She Decides No Matter What They Are Never Gunna Break Her
"Go To Hell"Screams At Her Dad As He Goes To Give Her Another Loop Of The Belt
"Go Fuck Your Self" She Screams At Her Mom Nowing It's Only Gunna Spur Her On
Now Siniter Has Lost The Plot The Physical Pain Ain't Nuffing Compared To The Heartache And Her Heart Breaks And It Rots.
Once It Was Filled With So Much Love
Now So Clogged Up With Hate That It Stops... Beating
She Stops Breathing
Her Body's Jst A Carcus Now, Her Souls Leaving.
No More Pain No More Bleeding
That's Gone Blow By Blow From A Severe Beating
It Takes Half A Dozen Blows To The Head To The End
Before They Finally Relise That She Is Dead
Thatss When The Door Busts Open And In Come The Feds, The Neighbours Must Have Called Them When They Heard The Screaming Of Torment
Coming From The Basement Where Seniters Dead Body Lies On The Floor Blatent Like Road Kill Out On The Pavement
It's Quite Clear To The Police That Shes Been A Victim Of A Heriific Case Of Physical Mutilation.
[x2:]
Tough Love, Tough Love I Call It Hatred
Tough Love, Tough Love I Call It Hatred
They Call It Tough Love, I Call It Hatred
Thatz Your Flesh, Your Blood Thatz Sacred
After Beening Aprehended, Siniters Parents Are Asked Why Her Life Was Brutally Ended
They Said It Was Out Of Love But Only Hate Breaks Somma So Hard That It Cannot Be Mended
To This Day They Show No Remorse
Their Idea Of Parental Guidence
Would Be To Always Use Force
What Makes This Tale All The More Gory
Is That This Song Is Based On A True Story... Tough Love
Rest In Peace What A Fucked Up World
Fucked Up Shit... ?... Ain't This Fucked
Tough Love Tough Love Tough Love
Hearts get burned
Hearts can be broken
Sometimes to sweet
Sometimes to tough
Hearts get hurt when harsh words are spoken
But we all need a little tough love
Dont get me wrong
I love it when you talk so tenderly
But we all know
Thats not always realitity
It keeps love strong
To understand its little ole diosyncrasy
And to realize that were not made so perfectly
Tough Love Tough Love Tough Love
Hearts get hurt
Hearts can be broken
Sometimes to sweet
sometimes to tough
Hearts get hurt when harsh words are spoken
we all need a little tough love
Tough dont have to be rough
it just means honesty
the secret that makes true love last
just like for you and me
Dont get me wrong
I love it when you talk so tenderly
But we all know
Thats not always realitity

GIRL

GIRL

GIRL
Come go to check the mail with me
GIRL
It's been three days, since you called me.
I don't really know how much more this, I can take.
(I can't take no more!)
It's me, (Oh no!)
That's pathetic -
Checking my phone every single second...
To see if you've been calling,
To see if you still want me.
(It never came.)
She was the one, the only one for me;
I made mistakes, but she always forgave me.
She was the one - my only obsession;
She kept my feet on the ground, she kept my head in the clouds.
She kept my head in the clouds.
So what do you gotta say, for yourself
That I haven't heard from somebody else?
Don't try to impress me with make - believe stories;
Darlin', please spare me, I'm already hurting.
And hey! (Hey!)
On the drive home,
I heard our song on the radio.
It didn't really burn, at first;
But it came hard when the chorus hit the second verse.
(Like a train.)
She was the one, the only one for me;
I made mistakes, but she always forgave me.
She was the one - my only obsession;
She kept my feet on the ground, she kept my head in the clouds.
She was the one, the only one for me;
I made mistakes, but she always forgave me.
She was the one - my only obsession;
She kept my feet on the ground, she kept my head in the clouds.
Love, it hurts, way too much.
Love, it hurts, way too much.
She was the one, the only one for me;
I made mistakes, but....
She was the one, the only one for me;
I made mistakes, but she always forgave me.
She was the one - my only obsession;
She kept my feet on the ground, she kept my head in the clouds.
You got tough love on your side
And your eyes are open wide
A rebel with a cause
Where the sound tracks sirens
And wrapped around the well heart you hold
The mean streets won't catch you cold
Another story in the naked city
You got the cure
Where there's no pity
Well it's a soldier's battle zone
Take aim to prove you're not alone
No prisoners, no fugitives
And you're face to face with victory
Hearts like a world you come to say
The kamikaze pilot crashes
As a phoenix rises from the ashes
CHORUS:
Tough love, you're hard to beat
You're worth the fight
It hits you where it hurts
Oh are you tough enough, tough enough
Tough love, you're hard to beat
You're worth the fight
Soul surrender to your heart
You're tough enough, tough enough
Take it up against the ropes
I've been there where you hold your hopes
Where the fires of passion
burns the waiting heart
We can break the red tape hustle
Now that's my kind of muscle
The stamina to end the runnin'
The armor when the night comes gunnin'
To steal your eyes with blind ambition
Beat you down with competition
You got tough love on your side
When your eyes see red
And on dead-end streets
And hunger feeds the heart that beats
My one-to-one drum
Clears my way
I swear to hold you down for as long as we both shall live
I never made a move without ya, my homie that's just how it is
Now we need each other more than ever, don't leave me by myself..
Young Chris... (check it)
Young Neef..
Together for ever, Neef & C
I give a fuck how y'all feel but that's real to me!
Let's do whatever it takes to find our way
to find a way, to find a way
I would turn green, from me...being in trenches
Him, livin adventurous...not worryin about expenditures
Think back, I never left the premesses
24/7 on corner, now let's remember this
After school, you wrote your rhymes while I sat in your crib
One of the first niggaz you let in your crib
Moms treated me like a son since day one
Thinkin 'bout how she talking bout she can't wait til that day come
The thing about that, I weren't even thinkin bout rap
Til I met you and thank you for that
And now you got us lookin like Jaz & Jay
T-Mac and Carter Neef, gotta work harder Neef
Shit...we runnin with S. Carter Neef
Dame & Biggs, get on your game my nig
The whole clique feel the same my nig
So don't think cuz I'm ahead of you I changed my nig
Now we got rich athletes that practice evr'day
Look at Hov, seem him in action everyday
He still at it, sold 5 million, still practicin
You still with me? Units is movin...they still yappin homie
And I came into this game on your back and your game ain't intact
And I'm tryin to do my thang
All I wanna know is if you tryin to do the same
I feel like I could do without you, at the same time I can't
Cuz at the same time it'll hurt
Ain't no shame in our game but our moms'll be hurt
Dreams of being stars, a lotta niggaz ??
If you can't do it for us, do it for Ms. Kim
Plus we promised both our mommas that we would
You know if we break that promise, it'll break they little hearts
Let's get this album out, and try to make it to the charts
Time for us to see the light, we done made it through the dark homie
The kid back in the zone, killin them songs
I'm back to my old self, C I'm 'bout to prove em wrong
Cuz in the past, a lotta shit been fucked up
Like when you hear Young Chris and don't hear Neef Buck
Young Gunna I got ya..
But you hatas gonna make me snap, cock back and red dot ya
Face it, ya basic...you can't tie my laces
Now I got the game mapped, plus I want my spot back
We together forever, these niggaz can't stop that
Do it for who? I do it for you!
Let's be for real homeboy, they not our crew
And since we talkin facts, it's really just us two (Whoo)
And I know you feel the same when you're signed
But you couldn't even ride cuz I wasn't on my job
Don't never ever think I left your side
Never T-mac and Carter C, Man you a part of me
Brother from another, even though my momma loved you like her own
Let's do this rap shit and just move on
I just thought I was passin a baton, lettin you kill them songs
Now I feel I'm all wrong
God forbid this rap shit'll don't even work out
Still know the Coke route, still get our moms out
And that's a promise we could never break
C you never changed, don't be dogged... that was my mistake
But don't worry, we gon get this in a hurry
Firstly,
We lived in a crater where our eyes glowed
We secrete leaders of secrecy
Hello
What do you picture makes a frame
What you do everyday is the same
Turn off the lights and shake your hips
Let's make like a couplet, like 2 pairs of lips
Pop goes the ceiling of routine
Pop goes the feeling of sitting
So blow your head on the turn of the fan
Don't put another down payment on the oil of iran [x2]
Can't you see i've got honourable mention
Can't you see you've got no pension plan?
It's time to decide, we make it or we die [x2]
Hey nuclear war & a hotbed of trouble
Make with the penance, repent on the double
We're going down in smoke and flames
We're going down and there's no one to blame
So keep it cold in a cool dry place
In a tucked away space
Save it with the face
Clean the egg, don't make me beg
Save us [x30]

Rap-
It's 365, 52, then 7, I 'm the closest you can get without
dyin' and goin' to heaven

telling friends you saw my underwear
When the waitress asks you for your order, you checking me, slim fem', brown
skin, but there is much, much more to me
What you want from me, who you want me to be, but I can clearly see you love
is no purpose it's on B.D.
Bridge-
Let me tell you what I mean when I say that I watched you plead away from me
And you really, really gonna be starvin' baby
Now you wanna get back with me you have you friends keep pagin' me, but this
star athlete can take his cletes and run
Tough love
You keep on telling me lies I can fantasize, but know I realize
You're still hungry for my love, but you should've ate huh, huh
Tough love
I keep on (I keep on) letting you back (letting you back) thats so whack
(thats so whack) but my heart attacks (but my heart attacks)
It don't matter what you do, never gon' get back with you, so keep on
starvin' just to prove
Firstly,
We lived in a crater where our eyes glowed
We secrete leaders of secrecy
Hello
What do you picture makes a frame
What you do everyday is the same
Turn off the lights and shake your hips
Let's make like a couplet, like 2 pairs of lips
Pop goes the ceiling of routine
Pop goes the feeling of sitting
So blow your head on the turn of the fan
Don't put another down payment on the oil of iran
Can't you see i've got honourable mention
Can't you see you've got no pension plan?
It's time to decide, we make it or we die
Hey nuclear war & a hotbed of trouble
Make with the penance, repent on the double
We're going down in smoke and flames
We're going down and there's no one to blame
So keep it cold in a cool dry place
In a tucked away space
Save it with the face
Clean the egg, don't make me beg
Slowly, she dissolves me
In waves of her, and leaves us blurred,
The flow just enthrals me
I drown in her, she purrs soothing words
Warm rain runs mascara
I laugh and say "My billion dollar-babe!"
She looks at me like I'm her father
Then hesitates and looks away
It means "Must try harder..."
What d'you wanna go and do this for
Don't you think it's all screwed enough
Givin' out the keys to your core
Now you've really gone and blew that stuff
You looked in her eyes
You never wondered why
And now your heart's gonna die and it's tough
Concrete and dry heat
music plays from another age
I'm back in my old street
head over heels and underage
Soft songs fade slowly
In and out like a sense of doubt
The earth shifts below me
And I forget what I was all about
This feeling's all through me
What d'you wanna go and do this for
Don't you think it's all screwed enough
Givin' out the keys to your core
Now you've really gone and blew that stuff
You looked in her eyes
You never wondered why
I hear my heart still ticking
I see a world of possibility
I feel my front door clicking
And a yearning inside of me
I know it's you there knocking
It reminds me of another time
When I could be seen out walking
With a friend of mine
It's gonna take some tough love
Just to get me feeling human
Assuming I'm worth saving at all
You gotta show some tough love
If you wanna see the other side of my wall
You want the drawbridge open
Yeah but I can only fall by force
And still I lie here hoping
For the sound of your Trojan horse
It's gonna take some tough love
Just to get me feeling human
Assuming I'm worth saving at all
You gotta show some tough love
If you wanna see the other side of my wall
Gotta bring your best stuff
Just to get my attention
Did I mention I've been lonely too long
Gonna need some tough love
If we're gonna change the words to this song
And when the ice starts breaking
You can hear this unearthly sound
And then the earth starts shaking
But it takes a long time to break it all down
It's gonna take some tough love
Just to get me feeling human
Assuming I'm worth saving at all
You gotta show some tough love
If you wanna see the other side of my wall
Gotta bring your best stuff
Just to get my attention
Did I mention I've been lonely too long
Gonna need some tough love
Oh son, oh son,
Don't break yourself by the answers I cannot tell.
Wish you the best of luck,
When you realize how everything is fucked.
Oh, the day will come,
When it's written in stone.
When you just can't tell,
The future from the past,
Or heaven from hell.
My daughter, my love,
Don't let yourself break over a world you hate.
When the bad overweights the good,
And when nothing really is what you thought that you'd
understood.
Don't you ever let it, go as far this.
People wishin'
Dream in
It's gonna happen
Dream on
Tuff love
Tuff love
Tuff love
Wait, it's comin' around
People wishin'
Dream on
It's gonna happen
Dream on
Tuff love
Tuff love
Tuff love
It's comin' around
It's comin' around
People wishin'
Dream on
It's gonna happen
Dream on

Lately you've been feeling like a waste
And I know that it's so hard
Cigarettes and beer are all you taste
You try to quit, but it's so hard
And I want to help you out
'Cause I'll always be there
You think you're some embarrassment
That I shouldn't bear
I don't know who you are
You yell at the TV. It won't talk back
Loneliness can be so hard
Your life's a massive mess.
You're off the track
I want to help, but it's so hard
When you take advantage of the fact
That I really care
And keep throwing burdens on me That I shouldn't bear
I don't know who you are... I don't know who you are
You try to drink away the pain
but it's madness that you gain
And when I help you out... you dog me out
And you take advantage of the fact that I really care
you keep throwing burdens on me that I shouldn't bear
They said we'd never make it
They said we'd never last
They said this love was a hurricane
That would come and go so fast
But baby, we're still standing
We're still going strong
So take my hand, don't look back
We're gonna prove that they were wrong
It's just you and me
It don't matter, baby, what they say
‘Cause we ain't listening to them anyway
Gonna make them see
Just keep on making a stand
Gonna show them just how tough love
Show them how tough love can be
I know you get nervous
And I know you get scared
Don't you worry, baby, I ain't goin' anywhere
‘Cause I am strong enough to hold you close when times get bad
You are my reason for every dream I ever had
It's just you and me
It don't matter, baby, what they say
‘Cause we ain't listening to them anyway
Gonna make them see
Just keep on making a stand
Gonna show them just how tough love
Show them how tough love can be
They said we'd never make it
They said we'd never last
They said this love was a hurricane
That would come and go so fast
But it's just you and me
And it don't matter, baby, what they say
‘Cause we ain't listening to them anyway
Gonna make them see
Just keep on making a stand
Gonna show them just how tough love
