Tough You think you've got the stuff You're telling me and anyone You're hard enough You don't have to put up a fight You don't have to always be right Let me take some of the punches For you tonight Listen to me now I need to let you know You don't have to go it alone And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you when I don't pick up the phone Sometimes you can't make it on your own We fight All the time You and I, that's alright We're the same soul I don't need I don't need to hear you say That if we weren't so alike You'd like me a whole lot more Listen to me now I need to let you know You don't have to go it alone And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you when I don't pick up the phone Sometimes you can't make it on your own Say, say, say I know that we don't talk I'm sick of it all Can you hear me when I sing? You're the reason I sing You're the reason why the opera is in me We're here now I've still got to let you know A house doesn't make a home Don't leave me here alone And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you that makes it hard to let go Sometimes you can't make it on your own Sometimes you can't make it Best you can do is to fake it Sometimes you can't make it on your own
