Too Tough Lyrics - Joe Jackson

I know that you think I protest too much 

I'm like a diva with a tragic touch 

But if I wanna hide from the pouring sun 

It has to be alright 

And I could have my pride but I'll try to run 

When a fool would stand and fight 

And if I try hard enough 

To 'do or die' and push and shove 

I know that I would be too tough 

Too tough to fall in love with you 

You've really gotten underneath my skin 

Must have been easy, it was always thin 

So if I wanna cry in the burning rain 

Don't worry I'll survive 

But even when you're high I can feel your pain 

That's what I call being alive 

So if I fall I'll get back up 

And there'll be tears and blood and stuff 

Still I stand tall and I'm too tough 

Too tough to fall in love with you, with you 

And I can see your point of view 

But I can see a way to be tough too, tough too 

You know I hate it when you talk this way 

'Cause you don't listen to a word you say 

And it took a lot of time to grow your shell 

Maybe enough's enough 

And I could tell you why you should go to hell 

But I don't want to be that tough 

So if I try hard enough 

To 'do or die' and push and shove 

I know that I would be too tough 

Too tough to fall in love with you 

With you, with you
