So somebody ran (G)out
Left someone's heart in a (D)mess
Well if you're ready for (C)love
Honey I'm (G)tougher (D)than the (G)rest
Some girls want a handsome (G)Dan
Or some good-lookin' (D)Joe
On their arm, some girls (C)like
A sweet-talking (G)Romeo D

Well the road is (Em)dark C
And it's a thin, thin (G)line
But I want you to (C)know
I'll walk it for (G)you any time D

But if you're ready for (C)love
Honey I'm (G)tougher (D)than the (G)rest
SOLO
Well it ain't no (G)secret
I've been around a time or (D)two
Well I don't know (C)baby
Maybe you've (G)been around (D)too
But there's another (G)dance
all you gotta do is say (D)yes
And if you're ready for (C)love
Honey I'm (G)tougher (D)than the (G)rest
