I'm Not That Tough

(album: High-Rise - 1983)

I'm not that tough
I know what you're thinking
You get your kicks
Out of throwing your weight around
Don't go believing
In all you hear
I'm not that tough

There are clowns
There are fools
There are folk
Who don't know the difference
Satisfied with what they see

But if I told you
What I felt deep inside you would cry
Like anyone
You'd never believe it was I

Oh baby take me in your arms
Rock me all night long
Till I've had enough
I'm really not that tough
I'm really not that tough

There are means
There are ways
We can use to fool one another
Like in the case of you and I

I come on strong
Like I enjoy
Being alone
But cant you guess
Underneath it all
There's a river of tenderness

Oh baby take me in your arms
Rock me all night long
Till I've had enough
I'm really not that tough
I'm really not

Oh baby take me in your arms
Rock me all night long
Till I've had enough
I'm really not that tough
Not that tough
Take it from me
I'm really not that tough

Oh baby take me in your arms
Rock me all night long
Till I've had enough
I'm really not that tough
I'm not that tough
I'm not that tough
Baby I'm not that tough

I want you to believe me

Oh baby take me in your arms
Rock me all night long
Till I've had enough
I'm really not that tough
