Tough boys, running the streets, come a little closer
Tough boys, under the sheets you know nobody knows her
Tough boys, don't walk a-way, I barely nearly missed you
Tough boys, come over here, I want to bite and kiss you
[Ad-Libs]
Tough boys, running the streets, come a little closer
Rough boys, under the sheets know nobody knows her
Rough boys, don't walk a-way, I barely nearly missed you
Tough boys, come over here I want to bite and kiss you
Oh Ho....I barely nearly missed you
Oh Ho....You know I barely nearly missed you
Rough boy..........Ah oh yea
Tough boys, come a little closer
Rough boys, don't touch her nobody knows her
Rough boys, running the streets, come a little closer
Rough boys, under the sheets know nobody knows her
Rough boys
Tough boys ahhh
Rough boys
Tough boys
Tough boys, running the streets, come a little closer
Rough boys, under the streets I barley remember
Rough boys rough boys rough boys,
Rough boys rough boys rough boys,
Rough boys rough boys rough boys,
Rough boys rough boys rough boys
Your so rough boys.
