Mr. Tough

Hey Mr. Tough

Don't you think we've suffered enough?

Why don't you meet me on the dance floor

When it's time to talk tough?

And if you need to tell me something once

You won't have to say it twice

And if you ask for a nickel

I'm gonna hand you a dime

And we'll forget about our problems if only for a little while

We'll leave our worries in the corner, leave them in a great big pile

Pretend everything can be alright

Hey Mrs. Blue

Time to think of something new

Please pause from spinning those hips

To the old soft shoe

And if you wanna last the rest of the night

There's nothing better I have to do

And if I tell you something

You won't have to ask if it's true

And we'll forget about our problems if only for a little while

We'll leave our worries in the corner, leave them in a heaping pile

Pretend everything can be alright

Alone and uptight on Saturday night

And in my room

I'm hiding at a crowded party

The record's playing for just me and you

Hey Mr. Tough

Don't you think we've suffered enough?

Why don't you meet me on the dance floor

When it's time to talk tough?

And if you need to tell me something once

You won't have to say it twice

And if you ask for a nickel

I'm gonna hand you a dime

And we'll forget about our problems if only for a little while

And leave our worries in the corner, leave them in a heaping pile

Pretend everything can be alright

Pretend everything can be alright
