Everybody’s trying to teach me a lesson
But baby, I’ve already been to school
It seems all anybody knows tough love
Just give me the real thing
and I’ll be cool
I’m not a fool for you to suffer
I’m not a bag for you to punch
No sacrifice for you to offer
I’m not a rock for you to launch
Well I’ve been round the block and
I’ve heard people talk and
I can tell when I’m being used
And I’ve been through the mills and
Swallowed bitter pillIs and
I have paid my share of dues
Everybody’s trying to teach me a lesson
But baby, I’ve already been to school
It seems all anybody knows tough love
Just give me the real thing
and I’ll be cool
Tough Love
(Lyrics)
I’m not a mat for you to walk on
I’m not a color in your scheme
I’m not coat for you to try on
I’m not a reason to be mean
Well I’ve been round the block and
I’ve heard people talk and
I can tell when I’m being used
And I’ve been through the mills and
Swallowed bitter pillIs and
I have paid my share of dues
Everybody’s trying to teach me a lesson
But baby, I’ve already been to school
It seems all anybody knows tough love
Just give me the real thing
and I’ll be cool
I’m not here to do your bidding
I’m not a hamster on your wheel
This is a joke, you must be kidding
Why can’t you just be for real
Well I’ve been kicked around and
Knocked down to the ground and
Held down for my point of view
And I have tossed and turned and
Sometimes I’ve been burned and
Fleeced by better thieves than you
