It's already the time that you hold my mind, it's true

And I've been thinking bout what to say, or not to do

So you wanna be a man about it, do you?

And have you figured out all you wanted, have you?

[Pre-chorus]

When your heart becomes a million different pieces

That's when you won't be able to recognize this feeling.

[Chorus 1]

That's called tough love

That's called tough love

That's called tough love

That's called tough love.

In the middle of the night, all I think about is you

I trail in all your clouds of glory, it's true

So you wanna be a man about it, do you have to?

And have you figured out all you wanted, have you?

[Pre-chorus]

When your heart becomes a million different pieces

That's when you won't be able to recognize this feeling.

[Chorus 2]

That's called tough love (tough love)

That's called tough love (tough love)

That's called tough love (tough love)

That's called tough love (tough love)

You'll have me crying out, crying out for more

You'll have me crying out, crying out for more

You'll have me crying out, crying out for more

You'll have me crying out, crying out for more.

[Chorus 2]

That's called tough love (tough love)

That's called tough love (tough love)

That's called tough love (tough love)

That's called tough love (tough love)
