Lyrics

[Intro]

Ho-oh, oh, oh, hey, yeah

Oh-oh-oh, woah

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

I need a tough lover, yeah, yeah, yeah

I need a, a tough lover, woo-ooh

I need a, a tough lover, yeah, yeah, yeah

A tough lover, ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]

When he kisses me, I get that thrill

When he do the wiggle, I won't keep still

I want a tough lover, yeah, yeah

A tough lover, woo

I need a tough lover, yeah, yeah

Tough lover

Uh-huh

[Verse 2]

The seven sisters got nothing on him

I'm talking about a lover who's fast as the wind

Everyone'll talk about how he got me fixed

It ain't voodoo, it's just that twist

He'll be the greatest lover that ever come to pass

Don Juan ain't got half the chance

[Chorus]

He's a tough lover, yeah, yeah

A tough lover, woo-hoo

He's a tough lover, yeah, yeah

A tough lover, uh-huh

[Verse 3]

Hey, hey, hey, yeah

He'll make me laugh, he'll make me cry

He'll be so tough, he'll make Venus come alive

He'll do anything that he wants to do

Step on Jesse James's blue suede shoes, yeah

[Chorus]

A tough lover

Yeah, yeah, yeah

A tough lover

Woo-ooh

A tough lover

Yeah, yeah

A tough lover

[Outro]

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

A tough lover

A tough lover

A tough lover

Yeah, yeah, yeah

A tough lover, uh-huh
