Lyrics

(Chorus:) Things are tough all over And I'm losin' badly I wish you were still here And I say it sadly But if you wanna come back 'Cause you need a shoulder Things are tough all over Guess I should count my blessings For the life I still have In a world of misfortune That can happen so fast Life size dominoes One falls after another Things are tough all over Baby, if you needed me I'd of heard by now Well, I hope you're not hurtin' On the other side of town 'Cause things are tough all over Things are tough all over Well, baby, if you needed me I'd of heard by now Well I hope you're not hurtin' On the other side of town (Chorus:) Things are tough all over And I'm losin' badly I wish you were still here And I say it sadly But if you wanna come back 'Cause you need a shoulder Things are tough all over Things are tough all over Things are tough Tough Things are tough Yeah, things are tough
