Tough Love — текст песни (Squeeze)

(difford/tilbrook)



There she sits in an empty room

The look on her face says it all

A bruise appears round a crying eye

As the tear drops sadly fall

He knocked her over he hit her

And told her shes stupid

Hes high as a kite once again

She knows that tough love is needed

To save the love of her friend



There he sits in a freezing car

Shes in her bed in the warm

The cold light of the morning sky

Finds him cramped and looking worn

He wanders inside on tiptoes

And brews up some coffee

Hes shaking and sweating again

She knows that tough love is needed

To save the love of her friend



They talk it over but its not easy

Sorting it out

She cannot take it when he tells lies

And sneaks off out of the room

Returning like somebodys lost balloon



Tea leaves sit in an empty cup

No expression on his face

The tvs showing commercials

Hes back in her arms again

No more the drugs and the drinking

Her heart can stop sinking

Now that hes home once again

She knows that tough love is needed

To save the love of her friend



They talked it over for hours and hours and hours

till everything sounded the same

She knows its tough love that she finds in her heart

To dissolve the pain
