Well it's Saturday night
You're all dressed up in blue
I've been watchin' you go out
Maybe you're watchin' me too
So somebody ran out
Left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
Some girls want a handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin' Joe
On their arm, some girls want
A sweet-talking Romeo
Well around here baby
I've learned you get what you can get
And if you're rough enough for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
Well the road is dark
And it's a thin, thin line
But I want you to know
I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other girlfriends
Couldn't pass the test
But if you're up and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
Hell it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Yeah I don't know babe
Maybe you've been around too
But there's another dance babe
All you gotta do is say yes
And if you're up and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
