Tough Guys
Defying Tough Guys: A Rebellion of Love in REO Speedwagon's Ballad
Lyrics
She doesn't like the tough guys
She disapproves of individuals with a tough demeanor.
They think that they can do anything they please
They believe they have the freedom to do as they please.
But they're gonna get a surprise
They will be surprised by her actions.
When she brings them to their knees
She will bring them to submission or defeat.
'Cause she doesn't like the rough guys
She dislikes individuals with a rough and aggressive nature.
They think they can have any girl they choose
They believe they can attract any girl they want.
They've got tricks but my baby got wise
They have tactics, but her partner is clever.
So in case you haven't heard the news
Newsflash: they should be aware of the consequences.
She doesn't like the tough guys
Reiteration that she doesn't like tough guys.
She doesn't like the rough guys
Reiteration that she doesn't like rough guys.
So find some one you own size
Suggests finding someone of equal strength.
'Cause she's not afraid of you
She is unafraid and won't succumb to intimidation.
She doesn't like the tough guys
Emphasis on her disliking tough individuals.
She says that they've got brains all where they sit
Claims they are arrogant and lack intelligence.
They think they're full of fire
They believe they are passionate, but she sees them as insincere.
She thinks they're full of shit
She considers them deceitful.
She doesn't like the tough guys
Reiteration of her dislike for tough guys.
She doesn't like the rough guys
Reiteration of her dislike for rough guys.
She's gonna call your bluff guys
She will expose their deception.
And you better believe it's true
Confirmation that her stance is true.
She don't like you
Direct statement: she doesn't like you.
She doesn't like the tough guys
Reiteration of her dislike for tough individuals.
They think that they can do anything they please
Repetition of their belief in limitless actions.
But they're gonna get a surprise
Reiteration that they will face consequences.
When she brings them to their knees
She will bring them to submission or defeat.
'Cause she doesn't like the rough guys
Reiteration of her dislike for rough individuals.
They think they can have any girl they choose
Reiteration that they believe they can attract any girl.
They've got tricks but my baby got wise
They have tactics, but her partner is clever.
So in case you haven't heard the news
Advises being aware of the consequences.
She doesn't like the tough guys
Reiteration that she doesn't like tough guys.
She doesn't like the rough guys
Reiteration that she doesn't like rough guys.
So find some one you own size
Suggests finding someone of equal strength.
'Cause she's not afraid of you
She is unafraid and won't succumb to intimidation.
She doesn't like the rough guys
Reiteration of her dislike for rough individuals.
She said she heard enough lies
She has heard enough lies from them.
She's gonna call your bluff guys
She will expose their deception.
And you better believe it's true
Confirmation that her stance is true.
Tough guys tough guys
Emphasizes the label "tough guys."
Ooh get along tough guys
Encourages tough guys to coexist.
You might has gone forget it
Suggests forgetting any hope of triumph.
Tough guys
Reiteration of the label "tough guys."
Oh you know you know she love me better
Implies she loves the speaker more.
Tough guys tough guys
Reiteration of the label "tough guys."
