Saw you on TV last night
In a rerun soap
You were young and beautiful
Already without hope

And in the end you spat me out
You could not chew me up
Too tough, too tough, too tough, too tough

I'm just too tough, too tough

VERSE:
I was married yesterday
To a teenage bride
You said it's only physical
But I love her deep inside
I still see you in my dreams
With a kitchen knife
With it poised above your head
Now who you gonna slice?
 
Chorus:
When it comes to fighting
Trying to play it rough
I will take you twenty rounds
I'm just too tough, too tough
D C D C D C D C
Too tough, too tough
 
VERSE:
I don't think you'll ever know
What you've bitten off
But in the end you spat me out
You could not chew me up
I was too tough, too tough
Too tough, too tough
Too tough, too tough
Too tough
Too tough, too tough
Too tough, too tough
