Some days I can take it all in stride

Some days I just run and hide

And I know I ' m not the only one

Who has to struggle through this life

Things are tough all over

And Lord I see no end in sight

Things are tough all over

It ' s a tender world and you are lost tonight

It ' s a tender world and you are lost tonight

It almost makes me feel ashamed

That I found reasons to complain

' Cause any hard times that I ' ve ever had

Your sweet love just melts them away

Things are tough all over

And Lord I see no end in sight

Things are tough all over

It ' s a tender world and you are lost tonight

It ' s a tender world and you are lost tonight

So leave the paper on the doorstep

I don ' t wanna read the evening news

If this world hasn ' t figured it out yet

Then love is the best thing we can do

Things are tough all over

And Lord I see no end in sight

Things are tough all over

It ' s a tender world and you are lost tonight

It ' s a tender world and you are lost tonight
