That makes it tough - wo, so tough
when you tell me - -you don't love me
that makes it tough - oh, so tough
wo wo wo
when you say you don't care for me no more
Memories will follow me forever
though I know my dreams cannot come true
all those precious things we shared together
time goes by - I'll still remember you
And that makes it tough - oh, so tough
when you tell me - you don't love me
that makes it tough - oh so tough
mmm wo
when you say you don't care for me no more
