Tough Guys

(album: Guilty As Charged - 1994)

I know he's not the kind, the kind that settles down
And I know he finds it hard keeping his feet on the ground
He goes out every night down the pub with all his mates
Getting into fights staying out too late

When he comes home rolling drunk
Don't get the 'ump
Just remember

Even tough guys need someone some times
Even tough guys need someone some times
Even tough guys need someone some times
Even tough guys need someone some times

He don't wear Armani suits or shirts pressed nice and clean
He wears Doctor Martens' boots and dirty Levi's jeans
Your friends all think he's gross and your parents hate his guts
And he once gave you a dose but the tablets cleared it up

They all say he's just no good
But he's misunderstood
And remember

Even tough guys need someone some times
Even tough guys need someone some times
Even tough guys need someone some times
Even tough guys need someone some times

He drives his car too fast, don't remember what you said
His promises don't last and he's lousy in bed
And when you're at a party and he's puking in the bin
And you're trying to remember what you ever saw in him

Don't go into one
He's only having fun
And remember

Even tough guys need someone some times
Even tough guys need someone some times
Even tough guys need someone some times
Even tough guys need someone some times
