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
