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
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 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 nothin' but tough All my edges have always been rough
