Ain't no doubt a-bout it, ba-by, it's you I aim to please. I'd wrestle with a li-on and a griz-zly bear. It's my life ba-by but, I don't care. Chorus: Ain't that tuff enough? Ain't that tuff enough? Ain't that tuff enough? Ain't that tuff enough? Verse 2: For you, baby, I would, swim the sea. Noth-in' I'd do for you that's too tough for me. I'd put out a burnin' building with a shov-el and dirt, And not e-ven wor-ry a-bout get-ting hurt. (Repeat Chorus) Guitar Solo 1: | | | | I would work twenty four hours, seven days a week, Just so I can come home and kiss your cheek. I love you in the morn-in' and I'll love you at noon. I love you in the night, take you, to the moon. (Repeat Chorus) I'd lay in a pile of burning money, that I've earn-ed. And not even worry about, get-tin' burn-ed. I'd climb the Empire State, ' fight Mu-hammad Ali. Just to have you ba-by, close to me.
