He's the kind that takes the line of least resistance
  In this situation Cupid needs assistance, yeah
  I can tell you this in confidence, you should learn a little self-defense
  
  Chorus:
  Toughen up, you better believe it, toughen up, you're gonna need to
  Toughen up, don't let him get the best of you, toughen up, yeah
  
  What you're lookin' for is only wishful thinkin', yeah
  Word is out all over town whose bell he's ringin', yeah
  Won't you take a little good advice, you'd better hidin' what you feel inside
  
  (chorus)
  
  Don't let him tell you what to do to get him runnin' after you
  Pretend you don't care about the guy, never let him see you cry
  
  (Solo)
  
  Oh, if you love him, take a tip from me, it's the sense of all philosophy
  
  Toughen up, oh girl, enough is enough, toughen up, show him you are tough
  Toughen up, don't let him get one hold a' you, toughen up
  
  (chorus)
  
  Toughen up, enough is enough, toughen up, hey girl, show him you are tough
  Toughen up, don't let him get one hold a' you, toughen up... (to fade)
