Oh when the going gets tough
That's when the tough get going
Oh when the going gets tough
That's when the tough get going

Oh when the going gets tough
Deal with it
That's when the tough get going
Don't checking out go
Oh when the going gets tough
Face your enemy
That's when the tough get going
Check it out yeah, check it out

I know you are feeling bad
Beware of self pity
Ain't no time for being sad
Prepare your strategy
Problems won't dissapear
No way for you to sleep
Solve them and listen here
Don't turn the other check

You'd better get tough kid

Oh when the going gets tough
That's when the tough get going
Oh when the going gets tough
That's when the tough get going

Oh when the going gets tough
Fear nothing
That's when the tough get going
Can't run away no
Oh when the going gets tough
Time for some action
That's when the tough get going
Don't hide Uh, Uh don't hide

How long will you permit
The blues to have its way
It's wrong for you to quit
And choose to let it stay
Inside you know I'm right
Create your destiny
Your pride should make you fight
Take some advice from me

You'd better get tough kid

When the going gets tough
When the going gets tough.....
