Tough Lyrics - X Factor (us)

Shes in the kitchen at the crack of dawn 

Bacons on, coffees strong 

Kids running wild, taking off their clothes 

If shes a nervous wreck, well it never shows 

Takes one to football and one to dance 

Hits the Y for aerobics class 

Drops by the bank, stops at the store 

Has on a smile when I walk through the door 

The last to go to bed, shell be the first one up 

And I thought I was tough 

Shes strong, pushes on, cant slow her down 

She can take anything life dishes out 

There was a time back before she was mine 

When I thought I was tough 

We sat there five years ago 

The doctors let us know, the test showed 

Shed have to fight to live, I broke down and cried 

She held me and said, "Its gonna be alright" 

She wore that wig to church 

Pink ribbon pin there on her shirt 

No room for fear, full of faith 

Hands held high singing, 'Amazing Grace' 

Never once complained refusing to give up 

And I thought I was tough 

Shes strong, pushes on, cant slow her down 

She can take anything life dishes out 

There was a time back before she was mine 

When I thought I was tough 

Shes a gentle word, the sweetest kiss 

A velvet touch against my skin 

Ive seen her cry, Ive seen her break 

But in my eyes shell always be strong 

There was a time back before she was mine 

When I thought I was tough
