Well, I was lookin' for just a little bit more   Than just another pretty face   Someone who would be strong and true   If trouble ever came my way      Too many times, I've been left behind   When my back was up against the wall   But now I found someone who ain't gonna run   No matter how the dice may fall      She's tough enough to stand by me   When it all comes tumblin' down   She's tough enough to steady me   When I'm walkin' on shaky ground      When it comes to tenderness   Buddy, that's when she's at her best   When the goin' gets rough, she's tough      Well, she's soft and sweet and she's good to me   Even when times are bad   She picks me up with a gentle touch   Anytime I'm feelin' sad      Don't you know I'll never let her go   'Cause she makes it so plain to see   When love is real, it's strong as steel   And hers is all I'll ever need      She's tough enough to stand by me   When it all comes tumblin' down   She's tough enough to steady me   When I'm walkin' on shaky ground      When it comes to tenderness   Buddy, that's when she's at her best   When the goin' gets rough, she's tough      And I'm so glad that I'm her man   'Cause when the you know what starts to hit the fan      She's tough enough to stand by me   When it all comes tumblin' down   She's tough enough to steady me   When I'm walkin' on shaky ground      When it comes to tenderness   Buddy, that's when she's at her best   When the goin' gets rough      She's tough enough to stand by me   When it all comes tumblin' down   She's tough enough to steady me   When I'm walkin' on shaky ground      When it comes to tenderness   Buddy, that's when she's at her best   When the goin' gets rough      She's tough enough to stand by me   When it all comes tumblin' down
