Olivia Newton-John – Toughen Up lyrics
He's the kind that takes the line of least resistance
In this situation Cupid needs assistance, yeah
I can tell you this in confidence
You should learn a little self defense

Toughen up
You better believe it
Toughen up
You're gonna need to
Toughen up
Don't let him get the best of you
Toughen up, yeah

What you're looking for is only wishful thinking, yeah
Word is out all over town whose bell he's ringing, yeah
Won't you take a little good advice
You're better hiding what you feel inside

Toughen up
You better believe it
Toughen up
You're gonna need to
Toughen up
Don't let him get the best of you
Toughen up, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't let him tell you what to do to get him running after you
Pretend you don't care about the guy, never let him see you cry
If you love him take a tip from me
It's the sensible philosophy

Toughen up, huh girl
Enough is enough
Toughen up, yeah
Show him you're hot stuff
Toughen up
Don't let him get one over you
Toughen up, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Toughen up, yeah, yeah
You better believe it
Toughen up, oh girl
You're gonna need to
Toughen up
Don't let him get the best of you
Toughen up, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Toughen up, yeah, yeah
Enough is enough
Toughen up, hey girl
Show him you're hot stuff
Toughen up
Don't let him get one over you
Toughen up, yeah
