[G]Well it's Saturday [G]night
You're all dressed up in [D]blue
I've been watchin' you a [C]while
Maybe you're [G]watchin' me [D]too
So somebody ran [G]out
Left someone's heart in a [D]mess
Well if you're ready for [C]love
Honey I'm [G]tougher [D]than the [G]rest

Some girls want a handsome [G]Dan
Or some good-lookin' [D]Joe
On their arm, some girls [C]like
A sweet-talking [G]Romeo [D]
Well around here [G]baby
I learned you get what you can [D]get
So if you're ready for [C]love
Honey I'm [G]tougher [D]than the [G]rest

Bridge

Well the road is [Em]dark [C]
And it's a thin, thin [G]line
But I want you to [C]know
I'll walk it for [G]you any time [D]
Maybe your other [Em]boyfriends [C]
Couldn't pass the [G]test
But if you're ready for [C]love
Honey I'm [G]tougher [D]than the [G]rest

SOLO

Well it ain't no [G]secret
I've been around a time or [D]two
Well I don't know [C]baby
Maybe you've [G]been around [D]too
But there's another [G]dance 
all you gotta do is say [D]yes
And if you're ready for [C]love
Honey I'm [G]tougher [D]than the [G]rest

If you're sure you're ready for [C]love
Honey I'm [G]tougher [D]than the [G]rest.
