Tough Love Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

There she sits in an empty room 

The look on her face says it all 

A bruise appears round a crying eye 

As the tear drops sadly fall 

He knocked her over he hit her 

And told her she's stupid 

He's high as a kite once again 

She knows that tough love is needed 

To save the love of her friend

There he sits in a freezing car 

She's in her bed in the warm 

The cold light of the morning sky 

Finds him cramped and looking worn 

He wanders inside on tiptoes 

And brews up some coffee 

He's shaking and sweating again 

She knows that tough love is needed 

To save the love of her friend 

They talk it over but it's not easy 

Sorting it out 

She cannot take it when he tells lies 

And sneaks off out of the room 

Returning like somebody's lost balloon 

Photos 

Tea leaves sit in an empty cup 

No expression on his face 

The TV's showing commercials 

He's back in her arms again 

No more the drugs and the drinking 

Her heart can stop sinking 

Now that he's home once again 

She knows that tough love is needed 

To save the love of her friend 

They talked it over for hours and hours and hours 

'Till everything sounded the same 

She knows it's tough love that she finds in her heart 

To dissolve the pain
