some days i can take it all in stride some days i just run and hide and i know im not the only one who has to struggle through this life things are tough all over and lord i see no end in sight things are tough all over its a tender world and you are lost tonight its a tender world and you are lost tonight it almost makes me feel ashamed that i found reasons to complain cause any hard times that i ve ever had your sweet love just melts them away things are tough all over and lord i see no end in sight things are tough all over its a tender world and you are lost tonight its a tender world and you are lost tonight so leave the paper on the doorstep i dont wanna read the evening news if this world hasnt figured it out yet then love is the best thing we can do things are tough all over and lord i see no end in sight things are tough all over its a tender world and you are lost tonight its a tender world and you are lost tonight
