Tougher Than The Rest (Live at LA Memorial Sports Arena, Los Angeles, CA - April 1988)

[Verse 1: Bruce Springsteen]

Well, it's Saturday night

You're all dressed up in blue

I been watching you awhile

Maybe you been watching me too

So somebody ran out

Left somebody's heart in a mess

Well, if you're looking for love

Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

[Verse 2: Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen & Patti Scialfa]

Some girls, they want a handsome Dan

Or some good-lookin' Joe

On their arm, some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo

Well, 'round here, baby

I learned you get what you can get

So if you're rough enough for love

Honey, I'm tougher than the rеst

[Bridge: Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen & Patti Scialfa]

Yeah, the road is dark

It's a thin, thin line

But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any timе

Maybe your other boyfriends

Couldn't pass the test

Well, If you're rough and ready for love

Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

(Say it)

[Instrumental]

[Bridge: Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen & Patti Scialfa]

Yeah, the road is dark

It's a thin, thin line

But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time

Maybe your other boyfriends

Couldn't pass the test

Well, If you're rough and ready for love

Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

[Verse 3: Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen & Patti Scialfa]

Well, it ain't no secret

I've been around a time or two

Well, I don't know, baby

Maybe you've been around too

Well, there's another dance, honey

All you gotta do is say yes

And if you're rough and ready for love

Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

If you're rough enough for love

Baby, I'm tougher than the rest
