Tougher Than The Rest
Chris LeDoux · Other Songs - Chris LeDoux
Your all dressed up in blue.
I've been watchin you a while,
Maybe you've been watchin me too.
So somebody ran out,
Left somebody's heart a mess.
Well if you're lookin for love,
Honey i'm tougher than the rest.
Some girls they want a handsome Dan,
Or some good lookin Joe,
On their arm some girls want a sweet talkin' Romeo.
But round here baby,
I've learned you get what you can get,
So if your lookin for love,
Honey i'm tougher than the rest.
Oh your road is dark,
And there's a thin thin line,
But I want you to know,
I'd walk it for you anytime.
And all your other boyfriends,
They couldn't pass the test.
So if you're Lookin for love,
Honey I'm Tougher than the rest.
Well it ain't no secret,
I've been around a time or two.
Well I don't know but,
Maybe you've been around too.
Well there's another dance,
All you gotta do is say yes.
And if you're lookin for Love,
Honey I'm tougher than the rest.
And if you're ready for love,
Honey i'm tougher than the rest.
