Cry Tough

0

[Chorus]
Cry tough, don't you know you're getting older?
Don't you, don't you, know you're getting slower?
[Verse 1]
How can a man be tough, tougher than the world?
Tougher than the world
For if he's rough, he's against the world
He's against the world
[Chorus]
Cry tough, don't you know you're getting slower?
Oh yes, you are getting older
[Verse 2]
How can a man be tough, tougher than the world
Tougher than the world
For if he's rough, he's against the world
He's against the world
[Chorus]
Cry tough, don't you know you're getting slower?
Oh yes, you are getting older
Cry tough, 'cause you know you're getting slower
Oh yes, you are getting older
[Verse 3]
How can a man be tough, tougher than the world?
Tougher than the world
For if he's rough, he's against the world
He's against the world
[Outro]
Cry tough, don't you know you're getting slower?
Oh yes, you are getting older
How can a man be tough, tougher than the world?
How can a man be tough, tougher than the world?
Tell me, how can a man be tough, tougher than the world?
