Well It's Saturday night you're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love honey I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls they want a handsome Dan or some good-lookin' Joe
On their arms some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well 'round here baby I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love honey I'm tougher than the rest

The road is dark and it's a thin thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you anytime
Maybe your other boyfriends couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest

Well it ain't no secret I've been around a time or two
Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well there's another dance all you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love baby I'm tougher than the rest
