Tough It Out Lyrics

Tough it out

Oh, yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Oh, yeah

Oh, you've been sleeping on a bed of roses
Eating with a silver spoon
Looking down from your ivory tower
You thought the blood in your veins was blue

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

Hey, welcome to the real world, baby
Get ready for a big surprise
Throw away those rose-colored glasses
Girl, you better open your eyes

We all know only the strong survive
You gotta be tough just to stay alive
(Gotta be tough)
There's always something new you can cry about
Stand up for yourself, you gotta tough it out

Tough it out
They're out to get you, trying to wear you down
Tough it out
You need a friend, there's never anyone around
When your back's against the wall
You gotta tough it out
Tough it out
They'll steal your thunder, try to kill your pride
Tough it out
You need some sanctuary, some place to hide
When your back's against the wall
You gotta tough it out
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, tough it out

Oh, life is there for the taking
You gotta choose the game that you play
You gotta fight for what you believe in
'Cos where there's a will there's a way

Oh, we all know only the strong survive
You gotta be tough just to stay alive
(Gotta be tough)
There's always something new you can cry about
Stand up for yourself, you gotta tough it out

Tough it out
They're out to get you, trying to wear you down
Tough it out
You need a friend, there's never anyone around
When your back's against the wall
You gotta tough it out
Tough it out
They'll steal your thunder, gonna kill your pride
Tough it out
You need some sanctuary, some place to hide
When your back's against the wall
You gotta tough it out
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

When your back's against the wall
You gotta be strong, you gotta stand tall
Fight fire with fire, oh, yeah

Well, there's always something new you can cry about
Stand up for yourself you gotta tough it out

Tough it out
They're out to get you, trying to wear you down
Tough it out
You need a friend, there's never anyone around
When your back's against the wall
You gotta tough it out
Tough it out
They'll steal your thunder, gonna kill your pride
Tough it out
You need some sanctuary, some place to hide
When your back's against the wall

Tough it out
Sleeping on a bed of roses
Tough it out
Eating with a silver spoon
Looking down from your ivory tower
You thought the blood in your veins was blue
Tough it out
Life is there for the taking
Tough it out
Just a game that you play
You gotta fight for what you believe in

Tough it out
They're out to get you, trying to wear you down
Tough it out
You need a friend, there's never anyone around
When your back's against the wall
You gotta tough it out, oh, yeah
