Rough & Tumble
Waite, John

Woke up from a bad dream                    To the world was burning down
I didn't know where I was                   I didn't know which town
You gotta live through this hard life       And get it right at first tryin'
See it's a mean place for our love to live  I'm afraid you're still mine

And we can make it through somehow       If we hold tight and stay true
When the game gets rough                 We can play rough too

It's gonna take                       The National Guard
To keep us apart                      When things get hard
Rough and tumble with me!             Rough and tumble, baby... yeah!


There are people out there waiting          With a handshake for a smile
They'll take what they get from us          They got no truth and no style

But we'll make it through somehow        If we hold tight and stay true
It's a dangerous game                    But you got me and I got you

Cos love's the good thing             That we got
When the world gets cold              We're still hot
Rough and tumble with me!             Rough and tumble, baby, it's alright


[Solo]


Cos love's such a good thing, baby          And we've got a lot
When the world cools down                   We'll still be hot

It's gonna take                       The National Guard
To keep us apart                      When things get hard
Rough and tumble with me              And we'll make it, baby

Rough and tumble with me              It's a hard world
Rough and tumble with me, yeah        Be my girl... yeah!

Rough and tumble...                   Free from mine!  Yeah!
Rough and tumble, baby
