| 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 trying
|
| To even out the score.
|
| Tough, I ain’t never been nothing but tough, all my edges have
|
| Always been rough.
|
| But Jesus loves me anyway.
|
| Oh backbone, there ain’t nothing wrong with a woman that
|
| Got a little backbone.
|
| You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love.
|
| You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing,
|
| Gonna cry if I don’t polish up.
|
| Tough.
|
| The way I see it, the hand of fate, did me a favor, with
|
| The cards 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, tough.
|
| I ain’t never been nothing but tough,
|
| all my edges have always been rough.
|
| But Jesus loves me anyway.
|
| Oh backbone, there ain’t nothing wrong with a woman that
|
| Got a little backbone.
|
| You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love.
|
| You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing,
|
| Gonna cry if I don’t polish up.
|
| Are you serious? |
| You ain’t fooled me much.
|
| You justa hanging round
|
| So you can try your luck.
|
| Well tough, I ain’t never been nothing but tough,
|
| all my edges has always been rough.
|
| You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing,
|
| gonna cry if I don’t polish up.
|
| You know what I got to say about that is tough |
