Song | Tough Love |
Artist | Squeeze |
Album | Classics Vol. 25 |
There she sits in an empty room | |
The look on her face says it all | |
A bruise appears round a crying eye | |
As the tear drops sadly fall | |
He knocked her over, he hit her | |
And told her, she's stupid | |
He's high as a kite once again | |
She knows that tough love is needed | |
To save the love of her friend | |
There he sits in a freezing car | |
She's in her bed in the warm | |
The cold light of the morning sky | |
Finds him cramped and looking worn | |
He wanders inside on tiptoes | |
And brews up some coffee | |
He's shaking and sweating again | |
She knows that tough love is needed | |
To save the love of her friend | |
They talk it over but it's not easy sorting it out | |
She cannot take it when he tells lies | |
And sneaks off out of the room | |
Returning like somebody's lost balloon | |
Tea leaves sit in an empty cup | |
No expression on his face | |
The TV's showing commercials | |
He's back in her arms again | |
No more the drugs and the drinking | |
Her heart can stop sinking | |
Now that he's home once again | |
She knows that tough love is needed | |
To save the love of her friend | |
They talked it over for hours and hours and hours | |
â€~Til everything sounded the same | |
She knows, it's tough love that she finds in her heart | |
To dissolve the pain |
There she sits in an empty room | |
The look on her face says it all | |
A bruise appears round a crying eye | |
As the tear drops sadly fall | |
He knocked her over, he hit her | |
And told her, she' s stupid | |
He' s high as a kite once again | |
She knows that tough love is needed | |
To save the love of her friend | |
There he sits in a freezing car | |
She' s in her bed in the warm | |
The cold light of the morning sky | |
Finds him cramped and looking worn | |
He wanders inside on tiptoes | |
And brews up some coffee | |
He' s shaking and sweating again | |
She knows that tough love is needed | |
To save the love of her friend | |
They talk it over but it' s not easy sorting it out | |
She cannot take it when he tells lies | |
And sneaks off out of the room | |
Returning like somebody' s lost balloon | |
Tea leaves sit in an empty cup | |
No expression on his face | |
The TV' s showing commercials | |
He' s back in her arms again | |
No more the drugs and the drinking | |
Her heart can stop sinking | |
Now that he' s home once again | |
She knows that tough love is needed | |
To save the love of her friend | |
They talked it over for hours and hours and hours | |
Til everything sounded the same | |
She knows, it' s tough love that she finds in her heart | |
To dissolve the pain |
