Shandi - Tough Love

Why do they care, why do they worry
It’s our life not theirs, yet they’re in such a hurry
To prove that they’re right, and we are just children
In love with night, and to young to know
They want to protect me
From growin’ up wrong
They say you’ll reject me
But our love to strong

Tough love will help us
Tough love that they can’t break
They can try a tear our dreams apart
But they can’t touch the love that’s in our hearts

Why do they always push us around
How come they keep on putting us down
They’ve tried every trick from anger to tears
Pulling the strings for so many years

Tough love will help us
tough love that they can’t break
They can try a tear our dreams apart
But they can’t touch the love that’s in our hearts
Tough love will save us
Tough love that they can’t shake
They can tie me up and hide the key
But that won’t change a thing

You’d better go now
Somebody’s comin’
I’ll slip out the window
While they’re asleep
I know if we told them
They’d just try and stop us
I’ll leave them a note
And try to explain
