Tough Guys - Caroline Jones

I’m selfish if I please myself

I’m good if I please you

I’m a rebel if I don’t fit in the box

I’m a talent if I do

I’m ignorant to your hypocrite

Naïve to your experience

Well oops, but I don’t give sh*t

‘Cause I ain’t waitin' on you to approve

‘Cause I got all the love that my heart can give

Tidal wave that you can’t hold back

Courage is all dreams need to live

Your fiction is my fact

Tough guys wantin' this girl to play nice

I don’t mean to play rough, guys

I’m just trusting my gut, guys

I think I threaten these tough guys

‘Cause I’m in love with my own life

& I’ve heard enough lies

If it makes you cry

If it makes you cry

Well that’s just tough, guys

I’m smart if I ask a question

That you know the answer to

I’m an airy-fairy hippie if I ask

Why we can’t do something brand new

It’s comical to see the quizzical

Looks upon your face

As you blame me ‘cause I’m crazy

But it’s you who can’t keep pace with

All the love that my heart can give

Like a tidal wave that you can’t hold back

Courage is all dreams need to live

Your fiction is my fact

Tough guys wantin' this girl to play nice

I don’t mean to play rough, guys

I’m just trusting my gut, guys

I think I threaten these tough guys

‘Cause I’m in love with my own life

& I’ve heard enough lies

If it makes you cry

If it makes you cry

Well that’s just tough, guys

Kick it

Listen

Does it make you cry

Does it make you cry

Does it make you cry?

Does it make you cry

Does it make you cry

Does it make you cry?

Does it make you cry

Does it make you cry

Does it make you cry?

Does it make you cry, baby, make you cry?

Tough guys wantin' this girl to play nice

I don’t mean to play rough, guys

I’m just trusting my gut, guys

I think I threaten these tough guys

‘Cause I’m in love with my life

& I’ve heard enough lies

If it makes you cry

If it makes you cry

Well sorry, but that’s just tough, guys
