Tough
"Tough"
Don't touch me, don't love me.
Don't dig in, don't begin.
Usually, I'm lost and found,
Lying on the ground, you put me there.
Now you better beware.
You've never seen me act this way, have you?
Come what may, you---
Never underestimate the power of a woman.
Never think that we're not strong enough.
Don't look now, don't ask how.
I warned you, you would lose.
Normally I'm the one in pieces,
Now I'm on my feet, and you're alone.
How's it feel on your own?
Never underestimate the power of a woman.
Never think that we're not strong enough.
Don't you ever think that you know all there is to know about us.
We can be tough, tougher than you.
Little one, you act so meek.
It's over and done, forget about me.
I told you once, and you should have listened.
Now look at what you're missing.
