Tough Love – Lyrics

You’re so cool, oh my my
I like you and I know why
You’re the game and I’ll keep playing
Working in your coal mine, working on your chain gang

Oh my my, you’re so cool
Baby be mine or be somebody’s fool
Cause you’re not fooling me, uh uh
I’ve been schooling for your love

Sink to the bottom or rise to the top
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, don’t you ever stop
Cutting me to pieces, apples and oranges
Slap me in the face, tell me that I’m gorgeous

Oh I’m hooked, you’re the one
My goose is cooked, turn me over I’m done
You’re the reason I keep rocking
Come on in, baby, don’t bother knocking

Under the boardwalk, over the moon
Some cats are born with a silver spoon
You’re like a ghost, I hope that you haunt me
Freak me out, baby, tell me that you want me

Tough love, tough love, tough love
Is there any other love?

Out of the frying pan into the fire
We can’t go designing the things we desire
A fish out of water I’m battered and bruised
Hook me up, baby, it’s good to be used

I’m outta shape, oh so it goes
But I bet that I could still touch your toes
I’ll cop a feel if we’re copesetic
While you wax your legs, I’ll wax poetic

Under the boardwalk, over the moon
Some cats are born with a silver spoon
You’re like a ghost, I hope that you haunt me
Freak me out, baby, tell me that you want me

Tough love, tough love, tough love
Is there any other love?
