Rough & Tumble Lyrics - Rough & Tumble - John Waite

Woke up from a bad dream 

To the world was burning down 

I didn't know where I was 

I didn't know which town 

You gotta live through this hard life 

And get it right first time 

See it's a mean place for I love to live 

And I bring yours to mine 

And we can make it through somehow 

If we hold tight and stay true 

When the game gets rough 

We can play rough too 

It's gonna take the National Guard 

To keep us apart when things get hard 

Rough and tumble with me 

Rough and tumble, baby, yeah 

There are people out there waiting 

With a handshake for a smile 

They take what they get from us 

They got no truth and no style 

But we'll make it through somehow 

If we hold tight and stay true 

It's a dangerous game 

But you got me and I got you 

'Cause love's a good thing that we got 

When the world gets cold, we're still hot 

Rough and tumble with me 

Rough and tumble, baby, it's alright 

'Cause love's a good thing, baby 

And we got a lot 

When the world cools down 

We'll still be hot 

It's gonna take the National Guard 

To keep us apart when things get hard 

Rough and tumble with me 

And we'll make it, baby 

Rough and tumble with me 

It's a hard world 

Rough and tumble with me, yeah 

Be my girl, yeah 

Rough and tumble, flee from mine 

Yeah, rough and tumble, baby
