Standard (EADGBE)
I wanted lace, I wanted pearls
To be a princess like the other girls
But life came hard to my front door
And I grew up tryin' to even up the score
(Chorus)
Tough, I ain't never been nothin' but tough
All my edges have always been rough
But Jesus loves me anyway oh back off
There ain't nothin' wrong with a woman who got a little backbone
Just wait till you taste her kind of love
You want a shy little thing
A pretty little high-heeled thing
You're gonna cry if I don't polish up
Tough
The way I see it, the hand of fate
Did me a favor
With the parts he dealt my way
Found out real fast life is a game
You're out real quick if you don't know how to play
Chorus
I'll be serious, you ain't fooled me much
You're just still hangin' 'round so you can try your luck
With tough, I ain't never been nothin' but tough
All my edges have always been rough
You want a shy little thing
A pretty little high-heeled thing
You're gonna cry if I don't polish up
You know what I gotta say about that is tough
