Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, mister tough
Don't you think we've suffered enough?
Why don't you meet me on the dance floor
When it's Tiny Tom time?
[Verse 2]
And if you need to tell me something once
You won't have to say it twice
And if you ask for a nickel
I'm gonna hand you a dime
[Verse 3]
And we'll forget about our problems
If only for a little while
And leave our worries in the corner
Leave them in a big, big pile
Pretend everything can be all right
[Verse 4]
Hey, missus blue
Time to think of something new
The possum's spinning our hips
The old soft shoe
[Verse 5]
And if you wanna lose the rest of the night
There's nothing better I have to do
And if I tell you something
You won't have to ask if it's true
[Verse 6]
And we'll forget about our problems
If only for a little while
And leave our worries in the corner
Leave them in a big, big pile
Pretend everything can be all right
[Verse 7]
Alone in our pad on Saturday night
Hemmed in by the room
But hiding at a crowded party
The record's playing for just me and you
[Verse 8]
Hey, mister tough
Don't you think we've suffered enough?
Why don't you meet me on the dance floor
When it's Todd-o-phonic time?
[Verse 9]
And if you need to tell me something once
You won't have to say it twice
And if you ask for a nickel
I'm gonna hand you a dime
[Verse 10]
And we'll forget about our problems
If only for a little while
And leave our worries in the corner
Leave them in a big, big pile
Pretend everything can be all right
Pretend everything can be all right
Pretend everything can be all right
