[Verse 1]
Well, it's Saturday night
You're all dressed up in blue
I've been watching you awhile
Maybe you've been watching me too
So somebody ran out
Left somebody's heart in a mess
Well, if you're looking out for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
[Verse 2]
Some girls, they want a handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin' Joe
On their arm
Some girls want a sweet-talkin' Romeo
But around here, baby
I learned you get what you can get
So if you're lookin’ out for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
[Verse 3]
Oh your road is dark
Yes it's a thin, thin line
But I want you to know
I'll walk it for you any time
All your other boyfriends
They couldn't pass the test
So if you're lookin’ out for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
[Verse 4]
Well, it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well, I don't know
Maybe you've been around too
And when there's another dance
All you gotta do is say yes
And if you're lookin’ out for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
And if you're you're lookin’ out for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
