Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You need a change to make a change

You'll figure out someday

Don't get it wrong and drive by

Ah, ah

[Chorus]

We ain't so tough

We all need someone, oh, oh, oh

When you build it up

Turn your back and it's gone

[PostChorus]

Oh, oh

Hey, hey, hey

Ooh, ooh

Hey, hey, hey

Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]

We ain't so tough

We all need someone, oh, oh, oh

Hear it yet, out of doubt

Then it won't be long, oh

[PostChorus]

Oh, oh

Ooh, ooh

Hey, hey, hey

Ooh, ooh

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Ooh, ooh

Hey, hey, hey

[Instrumental]

We ain't so tough

Can't always be this strong, oh

When you've had enough

Then you know it won't be long, oh

[Outro]

Oh, oh

Ooh, ooh

Hey, hey, hey

Ooh, ooh

Hey, hey, hey

Ooh, ooh

Hey, hey, hey
