Alton Ellis - Be True to Yourself: The Godfather of Lover's Rock (Anthology 1965-1973)

Cry Tough

Cry tough
Don't you know you're getting older? (Cry tough)
Don't you, don't you, know you're getting slower?

How can a man be tough? Tougher than the world
Tougher than the world
For if he's rough, he's against the world
He's against the world

Cry tough
Don't you know you're getting slower? (Cry tough)
Oh, yes, you are getting older

How can a man be tough? Tougher than the world
Tougher than the world
For if he's rough, he's against the world
He's against the world

Cry tough
Don't you know you're getting slower? (Cry tough)
Oh, yes, you are getting older

Cry tough
'Cause you know you're getting slower (cry tough)
Oh, yes, you are getting older

How can a man be tough? Tougher than the world
Tougher than the world
For if he's rough, he's against the world
He's against the world

Cry tough
Don't you know you're getting slower? (Cry tough)
Oh, yes, you are getting older
