Tough Love

She is a teacher
She is a pistol
She is the strongest person I have ever known
She is honest
Painfully so
But it's because she's had to do it all on her own

Hard as nails
Made of the strongest stuff
Her heart is hard as nails but always gives enough
When she joins the working angels up above
We'll always have what mama gave us
Tough love

Oh yeah
If she was tired
If she was tired
If she was crying
If she was crying
If she was scared
She never let us see
When they were fighting
When they were fighting
'Cause he broke a promise
'Cause he broke a promise
She showed us three
That's not how it's gonna be

She made it work all by herself
She put her own fears on the shelf
And she never ever took them down again

Hard as nails
Made of the strongest stuff
Her heart is hard as nails but always gives enough
When she joins the working angels up above
We'll always have what mama gave us
Tough love
Tough love

Flying on a wing and a prayer
She wasn't always warm
But she was always there

Yes she was
She made it work
All by herself
Yea she made it work
All by herself
And she don't need
Oh no one else
Hard as nails
Made of the strongest stuff
Her heart is hard as nails but always gives enough
And when she joins the working angels up above
We'll always have what mama gave us
Tough love
Tough love
