Why do they care,why do they worry Its our life not theirs,yet theyre in such a hurry To prove that theyre 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 youll reject me But our love to strong Tough love will help us Tough love that they cant break They can try a tear our dreams apart But they cant touch the love thats in our hearts Why do they always push us around How come they keep on putting us down Theyve tried every trick from anger to tears Pulling the strings for so many years Chorus: Tough love will help us tough love that they cant break They can try a tear our dreams apart But they cant touch the love thats in our hearts Tough love will save us Tough love that they cant shake They can tie me up and hide the key But that wont change a thing Youd better go now Somebodys comin Ill slip out the window While theyre asleep I know if we told them Theyd just try and stop us Ill leave them a note And try to explain
