Things are tough all over
And I'm losing badly
I wish you were still here

And I say it sadly
You want to come back
'Cause you need a shoulder

Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over


I should count my blessings
For the life I still have
In a world of misfortune

Things happen so fast
Life size dominoes
One falls after another

Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over


Baby, if you needed me
I'd have heard by now
I hope you're not hurting

On the other side of town

'Cause things are tough all over

Things are tough all over

Baby, if you needed me

I'd have heard by now
I hope you're not hurting
On the other side of town


Things are tough all over
And I'm losing badly

I wish you were still here
And I say it sadly
You want to come back

'Cause you need a shoulder
Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over


Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over
