Tough Love

The sisters’re playing truth or dare
But I can’t be everywhere
I’m walking the street that’s mine
I’m drifting in tough love

My baby’s seasick in her tempers ways
But I’m here to tell the tale
Don’t look into the devils eyes
Brace yourself in tough love

Oh I’m a soul that’s wide open to this world
As a baby my mother stroked my golden curls
I was born on jesu love

They see me on the subway train
Mumbling another refrain
Oh what a place for an alien
What times of tough love

Give me a glance and I’ll build a garden here
You know that I believe
That the impossible dear
It can be done in tough love

I look up on a clear blue sky
You can’t tell when the angels might strike
But I’m easy I’m travelling light
In faith of tough love

And I carry my gold like a newborn
Through this life’s filth and scorn
But you need a ground to walk on
And I walk on tough love

Baby take my hand
I don’t know what’s going on
Oh but I don’t care
I can feel the beat on my drum
It’s the beat of tough love
Dance with me in tough love
We’ll dance in tough love
We’ll dance in tough love
