You got tough love on your side   And your eyes are open wide   A rebel with a cause   Where the sound tracks sirens      And wrapped around the well, heart you hold   The mean streets won't catch you cold   Another story in the naked city   You got the cure where there's no pity      Well, it's a soldier's battle zone   Take aim to prove you're not alone   No prisoners, no fugitives      And you're face to face with victory   Heart's like a world, you come to say   The kamikaze pilot crashes   As a phoenix rises from the ashes      Tough love, you're hard to beat   You're worth the fight, it hits you where it hurts   Oh, are you tough enough, tough enough   Tough love, you're hard to beat      You're worth the fight   Soul surrender to your heart   You're tough enough, tough enough   Take it up against the ropes      I've been there where you hold your hopes   Where the fires of passion burns the waiting heart   We can break the red tape hustle   Now that's my kind of muscle      The stamina to end the runnin'   The armor when the night comes gunnin'   To steal your eyes with blind ambition   Beat you down with competition      You got tough love on your side   When your eyes see red and on dead-end streets   And hunger feeds the heart that beats   My one-to-one drum clears my way      Tough love, you're hard to beat   You're worth the fight, it hits you where it hurts   Oh, are you tough enough, tough enough   Tough love, you're hard to beat      You're worth the fight   Soul surrender to your heart   You're tough enough, tough enough   Take it up against the ropes
