Tough lyrics

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.

But jesus loves me anyway.

Oh backbone, there ain't nothing wrong with a woman that
Got a little backbone.

You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love.

You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing,
Gonna cry if I don't polish up. Tough.

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.

But jesus loves me anyway.

Oh backbone, there ain't nothing wrong with a woman that
Got a little backbone.

You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love.

You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing,
Gonna cry if I don't polish up.

Are you serious? You ain't fooled me much. You justa 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, gonna cry if I don't polish up.

You know what I got to say about that is tough
