Billy Ocean - When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going

When the going gets tough

The tough get going

When the going gets tough

The tough are getting ready, yeah

I got something to tell you

I got something to say

I'm gonna put this dream in motion

Never let nothing stand in my way

When the going gets tough

The tough get going

I'm gonna get myself 'cross the river

That's the price I'm willing to pay

I'm gonna make you stand and deliver

And give me love in the old-fashioned way

Darling, I'll climb any mountain

Darling, I'll do anything

Ooh (ooh), can I touch you (can I touch you)

And do the things that lovers do?

Ooh (ooh), wanna hold you (wanna hold you)

I gotta get it through to you, oh

When the going gets tough

The tough get going

When the going gets rough

The tough get rough

I'm gonna buy me a one-way ticket

Nothing's gonna hold me back

Your love's like a slow train coming (slow train coming)

And I can feel it coming down the track

Darling, I'll climb any mountain

Darling, I'll do anything

Ooh (ooh), can I touch you (can I touch you)

And do the things that lovers do?

Ooh (ooh), wanna hold you (wanna hold you)

I gotta get it through to you

'Cause when the going gets tough

The tough get going

When the going gets rough

The tough get rough

Darling, I'll climb any mountain

Darling, I'll swim any sea

Darling, I'll reach for the heaven

Darling, with you loving me

Ooh, can I touch you (can I touch you)

And do the things that lovers do? (can I touch you)

Ooh (ooh), wanna hold you (wanna hold you)

I gotta get it through to you

When the going gets tough (going gets tough)

Going gets rough (going gets rough)

The going gets tough (going gets tough)

Going gets rough (going gets rough)
