[Verse 1]
Listen up
I never wanted to make you feel any uneasy
I never knew how hard it was for you to be, just be
Cause every time you look at me
Look at me, look at me, look at me
And there's too much emotion in your eyes
And there's too many words you use to disguise
Your tough love

[Chorus]
Thats what you are, you're tough love
Oh tough love, yea tough love

[Verse 2]
Cause words can be so hard to see through but
I still think that I like being with you
And your tough love, cause there's much love
You should know when you want me to be there for you
I certainly will be
Cause I like it, I like it, I like it, I really do, yeah I do
But for some reason, the pleasing’s confusing for both me and you
Oh it's a long hard road and none of it’s slowed
You said that I met you, you got nothing but love

[Chorus]
But it's tough love
Oh it's tough love, but there's much love
[Bridge]
All for those long hard days, and awkward moments, and sleepless nights
When our hearts spill open
And I think you see right through me
But I think you could do me some good

[Chorus]
Cause it's tough love, but there's much love
Yeah it’s tough love, but there's much love
