Shawn Colvin

Tougher Than the Rest

It's Saturday night

You're all dressed up in blue

I been watching you awhile

Maybe you been watching me too

So somebody ran out

Left somebody's heart in a mess

If you're looking for love

Honey I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls they want a handsome Dan

Or some good-lookin' Joe,

Some girls on their arm want a sweet-talkin' Romeo

Well 'round here baby

I learned you get what you can get

And if you're ready for love

Honey I'm tougher than the rest

The road is dark

And it's a thin thin line

But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time

Maybe your other girlriends

Couldn't pass the test

Well if you're rough and ready for love

Honey I'm tougher than the rest

Well it ain't no secret

I've been around a time or two

And I don't know baby maybe you've been around too

There's one more dance

All you gotta do is say yes

Cause if you're looking for love

Honey I'm tougher than the rest

If you're rough and ready for love

Honey I'm tougher than the rest
