Well i've got a lover that moves me so

He show an old kind of rock'n'roll

'Cause he's a tough lover (yeah, yeah)

He's a tough lover (whooooo)

Tough Lover (yeah, yeah)

Tough Lover (hum, hum)

When he kisses me

I get a thrill

But when he does that wiggle

I can't keep still

'Cause he's a tough lover (yeah, yeah)

He's a tough lover (whooooo)

Tough Lover (yeah, yeah)

Tough Lover (hum, hum)

The seven sisters got nothin' on him

I'm talkin' about love and he's fast as the wind

People are all talkin' about how he's got me fixed

It ain't hoodoo it's just that twist

He's the greatest lover ever come to pass

Don Juan ain't got the half of a chance

He can make you laugh

He can make you cry

He's so tough he'll make venus come alive

He can do anything that he wants to do

Step on Jesse James's blue suede shoes

'Cause he's a tough lover (yeah, yeah)

He's a tough lover (whooooo)

Tough Lover (yeah, yeah)

Tough Lover (hum, hum)

(sax solo!)

The seven sisters got nothin' on him

I'm talkin' about love and he's fast as the wind

People are all talkin' about how he's got me fixed

It ain't hoodoo it's just that twist

He's the greatest lover ever come to pass

Don Juan ain't got the half of a chance

He can make you laugh

He can make you cry

He's so tough he'll make venus come alive

He can do anything that he wants to do

Step on Jesse James's blue suede shoes

'Cause he's a tough lover (yeah, yeah)

He's a tough lover (whooooo)

Tough Lover (yeah, yeah)

Tough Lover (hum, hum)

You've got a lover

That you wanna love right

Just (pops? i don't know this one) him on the head

Once or twice

He'll be a tough lover (yeah, yeah)

He'll be a tough lover (whoooo)

Tough lover (yeah, yeah)

Tough lover (hu, hu!)
