Well, I was lookin' for just a little bit more
Than just another pretty face
Someone who would be strong and true
If trouble ever came my way

Too many times, I've been left behind
When my back was up against the wall
But now I found someone who ain't gonna run
No matter how the dice may fall

She's tough enough to stand by me
When it all comes tumblin' down
She's tough enough to steady me
When I'm walkin' on shaky ground

When it comes to tenderness
Buddy, that's when she's at her best
When the goin' gets rough, she's tough

Well, she's soft and sweet and she's good to me
Even when times are bad
She picks me up with a gentle touch
Anytime I'm feelin' sad

Don't you know I'll never let her go
'Cause she makes it so plain to see
When love is real, it's strong as steel
And hers is all I'll ever need

She's tough enough to stand by me
When it all comes tumblin' down
She's tough enough to steady me
When I'm walkin' on shaky ground

When it comes to tenderness
Buddy, that's when she's at her best
When the goin' gets rough, she's tough

And I'm so glad that I'm her man
'Cause when the you know what starts to hit the fan

She's tough enough to stand by me
When it all comes tumblin' down
She's tough enough to steady me
When I'm walkin' on shaky ground

When it comes to tenderness
Buddy, that's when she's at her best
When the goin' gets rough

She's tough enough to stand by me
When it all comes tumblin' down
She's tough enough to steady me
When I'm walkin' on shaky ground

When it comes to tenderness
Buddy, that's when she's at her best
When the goin' gets rough

She's tough enough to stand by me
When it all comes tumblin' down
