[A] [E]
[B] Well, [E] it's Saturday night, you're all [A] dressed [B] up in blue.
I've been watching [A] you a while, maybe [E] you've been watching [B] me too.
So [E] somebody ran out, left [A] somebody's heart [B] in a mess.
Well, if you're [A] looking for love, honey, [E] I'm [B] tougher than [E] the rest.
Some girls, they want a handsome dad, or [A] some good [B]-looking Joe.
And there are [A] some girls like a sweet [E]-talking [B] Romeo.
[E] Well, round here, baby, I [A] learned you get what [B] you can get.
So if you're looking [A] for love, honey, [E] I'm tougher [B]
than [E] the rest.
The [C#m] road is dark, and [A] it's a thin, [E] thin line.
But I want [A] you to know I'll walk it for [B] you [E] any time.
Maybe your other [C#m] boyfriend [A] couldn't [E] pass the test.
But if you're up and ready [A] for love, honey, [E] I'm tougher [B]
than [E] the rest.

Well, there's [E] another chance.
All [A] you gotta do [B] is say yes.
And if you're up and ready [A] for love, honey, [E] I'm tougher than the rest.
If you're up and [A] up for love, baby, [E] I'm tougher [B] than [E] the rest.
