Lyrics Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend

Rough Boys

Tough boys

Running the streets

Come a little closer

Rough toys

Under the sheets

Nobody knows her

Rough boys

Don't walk away

I very nearly missed you

Tough boys

Come over here

I wanna bite and kiss you

I wanna see what I can find

Tough kids

Take a bottle of wine

When your deal is broken

Ten quid

She's so easy to find

Not a word is spoken

Rough boys

Don't walk away

I feel pretty blissed here

Tough boy

I'm gonna carry you home

You got pretty pissed, dear

Gonna get inside you

Gonna get inside your bitter mind

I wanna see what I can find

Rough boys

Don't walk away

I wanna buy your leather

Make noise

Try and talk me away

We can't be seen together

Tough kids

What can I do?

I'm so pale and weak

Rough fits

In my Hush Puppy shoes

But I'm still pleading

Pleading, bleeding, fining, whining, shining

I wanna see what I can find

Tough boys

Running the streets

Come a little closer

Rough toys

Under the sheets

Nobody knows her

Rough boys

Don't you walk away

I very nearly missed you

Tough boys

Come over here

I wanna bite and kiss you

I wanna see what I can find
