Joe Jackson Too Tough Lyrics

Too Tough Lyrics

I know that you think I protest too much

I'm like a diva with a tragic touch

But if I wanna hide from the pouring sun

It has to be alright

And I could have my pride but I'll try to run

When a fool would stand and fight



And if I try hard enough

To 'do or die' and push and shove

I know that I would be too tough

Too tough to fall in love with you



You've really gotten underneath my skin

Must have been easy, it was always thin

So if I wanna cry in the burning rain

Don't worry I'll survive

But even when you're high I can feel your pain

That's what I call being alive



So if I fall I'll get back up

And there'll be tears and blood and stuff

Still I stand tall and I'm too tough

Too tough to fall in love with you, with you



And I can see your point of view

But I can see a way to be tough too, tough too



You know I hate it when you talk this way

'Cause you don't listen to a word you say

And it took a lot of time to grow your shell

Maybe enough's enough

And I could tell you why you should go to hell

But I don't want to be that tough



So if I try hard enough

To 'do or die' and push and shove

I know that I would be too tough

Too tough to fall in love with you

With you, with you
