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 trying to even out the score



Tough, I ain't never been nothing but tough

All my edges have always been rough



But jesus loves me anyway



Oh backbone, there ain't nothing wrong with a woman that

Got a little backbone



You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love



You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel 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 nothing but tough

All my edges have always been rough



But jesus loves me anyway



Oh backbone, there ain't nothing wrong with a woman that

Got a little backbone



You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love



You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing

Gonna cry if I don't polish up



Are you serious? You ain't fooled me much

You justa hanging round, so you can try your luck



Well tough, I ain't never been nothing but tough

all my edges has always been rough



You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing

gonna cry if I don't polish up



You know what I got to say about that is tough
