Tough Love

You tell me at the morning bell
that life is just a living hell
I wake up thinking
isn't that swell

My Cherios crunch to loud
you say, my breath is bad
now go away, my tongue is rough
as I run away to a safer
place where the sun isn't so gray

Tough love is a two way street
gotta get something better to eat
Tough love is a two way street
Gotta find a smile where can I find it
Tough love is a two way street
Starving me for your touch
well, I don't mind it
Tough love is a two way street
I roam

Coming home you are nice again
I say honey can I have some sin
then we do it all over again
Your agony babe is the sea I swim
Lovin' you is a double-edged sword
Not even Shakespeare man
could find the right words

Cause
Tough love is a two way street
gotta get something better to eat
Tough love is a two way street
Gotta find a smile where I can find it
Tough love is a two way street
Starving me for your touch
well, I don't mind it
Tough love is a two way street
I roam

Motor mouth, motor mouth
is a weird adjustment
I give you my crazy
I give you my judgment
My motor mouth, motor mouth
is my truth for tougher men
Motor mouth, motor mouth
shakes you brakes you as you run away
Tough love is the street I roam today

Late at night is make-up sex night
We do it again by you damned daylight
ain't no way outta this circle I find
aint no way to just be kind Sam

You pull in the shades to warn
me of fight, I'm Joan of Arc
love and death's eternal delight
Maybe some flowers would
be allright

Cause
Tough love is a two way street
Learn to live with a pocket of change
Tough love is a two way street
Gotta find a smile wherever you don't it
Tough love is a two way street
Hoping for your touch
is what keeps me going
Tough love is a two way street
I roam

Tough love, babe
Tough love tough love
tough love is the two-way street
I roam
