                    F
Well it's Saturday night,
                   A#       C
you're all dressed up in blue
                        A#
I been watching you a while,
                F           C
maybe you been watching me too
                 F
So somebody ran out,
                 A#          C
left somebody's heart in a mess
                           A#
Well if you're looking for love,
       F             C       F
honey, I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls, they want a handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin' Joe on their arm
Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well, round here, baby
I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

            Dm  A#
The road is dark,
                       F
and it's a thin, thin line
                    A#
But I want you to know
                     C    F
I'll walk it for you any time
                  Dm       A#
Maybe your other boyfriends,
                   F
Couldn't pass the test
                                    A#
Well if you're rough and ready for love,
       F             C       F
honey, I'm tougher than the rest

Well, it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well, I don't know baby
Maybe you've been around too
Well, there's another dance
All you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

If you're rough enough for love
Baby, I'm tougher than the rest
