Tough

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
But Jesus loves me anyway
Oh backbone, there ain't nothing wrong with a woman that
Got a little backbone

[Chorus 2]
You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love
You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing
Going to cry if I don't polish up
Tough

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
But Jesus loves me anyway
Oh backbone, there ain't nothing wrong with a woman that
Got a little backbone

[Chorus 2]
You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love
You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing
Going to cry if I don't polish up

[Verse 3]
Are you serious? You ain't fooled me much
You just a 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
Going to cry if I don't polish up
You know what I got to say about that is tough
