Toughen Up

He's the kind that takes the line of least resistance
In this situation cupid needs assistance
I can tell you this in confidence
You should learn a little self-defense
Toughen up
You better believe it
Toughen up
You're gonna need to
Toughen up
Don't let him get the best of you
Toughen up, yeah
What you're looking for is only wishful thinking
Word is out all over town whose bell he's ringing
Won't you take a little good advice
You're better hiding what you feel inside
Toughen up
You better believe it
Toughen up
You're gonna need to
Toughen up
Don't let him get the best of you
Toughen up, yeah
Don't let him tell you what to do
To get him running after you
Pretend you don't care about the guy
Never let him see you cry
If you love him take a tip from me
It's a sensible philosophy
Toughen up
Enough is enough
Toughen up
Show him you're hot stuff
Toughen up
Don't let him get one over you
Toughen up, yeah
Toughen up
You better believe it
Toughen up
You're gonna need to
Toughen up
Don't let him get the best of you
Toughen up, yeah
Toughen up
Enough is enough
Toughen up
Show him you're hot stuff
Toughen up
Don't let him get one over you
Toughen up, yeah
