(Verse)
Some days I can take it all in stride
Some days I just run and hide
And I know I'm not the only one
Who has to struggle through this life
(Chorus)
Things are tough all over
And Lord I see no end in sight
Things are tough all over
It's a tender world and you are lost tonight
It's a tender world and you are lost tonight
(Verse)
It almost makes me feel ashamed
That I found reasons to complain
Cause any hard times that I've ever had
Your sweet love just melts them away
(Chorus)
Things are tough all over
And Lord I see no end in sight
Things are tough all over
It's a tender world and you are lost tonight
It's a tender world and you are lost tonight
(Bridge)
So leave the paper on the doorstep
I don't wanna read the evening news
If this world hasn't figured it out yet
Then love is the best thing we can do
(Chorus)
Things are tough all over
And Lord I see no end in sight
Things are tough all over
It's a tender world and you are lost tonight
It's a tender world and you are lost tonight
