It's Tough

from Fingers in my Pocket by Robin Auld

lyrics

Give her everything, everything that her heart desire
now she even wears my ring, but everyday it’s still the same
No matter what I do, she’s always wanting something new and
It’s tough, it’s tough, yes it’s tough
when all you’ve got is not enough.
I know she like the bright lights, one day she’ll run away for ever
to where the band plays through the night, and the dancing goes on and on
no matter what I say, one day she’s gonna run away and
It’s tough, it’s tough, yes it’s tough
when all you’ve got is not enough.
I tell her she must try to understand, I wasn’t born with a silver spoon
I try my best to be a richer man, but I can’t buy her the moon.
All my friends they say, I don’t know when I’ve got it good no
they’re not the ones, the ones who pay, I just want it understood that
she may be heaven-sent, but she’s out there spending the rent and
It’s tough, it’s tough, yes it’s tough
when all you’ve got is not enough
