Wake up every morning at 7am
Ya start the living hell all over again
If you could take it back (take it back) - and turn it back
Would ya even know where to begin?
Call me every time, you're feelin' blue
Cuz you know I'll come down and have a drink with you
There isn't much else I can say to you - so i'm gonna try something new
Listen up, listen close
Ya might need a little tough love
Ya need a little thick skin
Cuz you ought to be a grown man
But you do it to yourself all over again
You can sell yourself short, and sell it for cheap
But don't come around here sellin' to me
Cuz I read that news, I paid my dues
I walked a few blocks in those tired shoes
You can call me the pot, or you can call me the kettle
But don't be calling me back just as soon as ya settle
Cuz I found my spine, I ate my pride, I'm throwing up another piece of advice
Ya might need a little tough love
Ya need a little thick skin
Cuz you ought to be a grown man
But you do it to yourself all over again
If i could hold my breath, i'd wait on you
Feeling sorry, turnin' blue
I spilled my guts out on the floor
I can't spill them any more
Ya might need a little tough love
Ya need a little thick skin
Cuz you ought to be a grown man
But you do it to yourself all over again
