[Verse 1] I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees Ain't no doubt about it baby, it's you I aim to please I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear It's my life baby but I don't care [Chorus] Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? [Verse 2] For you baby I would swim the sea Nothin' I'd do for you that's too tough for me I'd put out a burnin' building with a shovel and dirt And not even worry about getting hurt [Chorus] Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? [Verse 3] I'd work twenty four hours, seven days a week Just so I could come home and kiss your cheek I'll love you in the mornin' and I'll love you at noon I'll love you in the night and take you to the moon [Chorus] Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? [Verse 4] I'd lay in a pile of burnin' money that I've earned And not even worry about getting burned I'd climb the Empire State, fight Muhammad Ali Just to have you baby close to me [Chorus] Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough?
