When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Gets Going Songtext
von Billy Ocean

When the going gets tough
The tough get going, tough, tough, huh, huh, huh
When the going gets tough, the tough get ready
Yeah, tough, tough...

I got something to tell you
I got something to say
I′m gonna put this dream in motion
Never let nothing stand in my way

When the going gets tough
The tough get going

Well I'm gonna get myself ′cross the river
That's a price I'm willing to pay
I′m gonna make you stand and deliver
And give me love in the old-fashion way
Woah

Darling, I′ll climb any mountain
Darling, I'll do anything


Ooh, can I touch you? (Can I touch you?)
And do the things that lovers do
Ooh, wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you, oh

When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the going gets rough
The tough get rough
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh baby
I′m gonna buy me a one-way ticket
Nothin's gonna hold me back
Your love′s like a slow train coming (slow train coming)
And I can feel it coming down the track (woah)

Darling, I'll climb any mountain
Darling, I′ll do anything

Ooh (ooh) can I touch you? (Can I touch you?)
And do the things that lovers do
Ooh, (ooh) wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you (ooh)


'Cause when the going gets tough, the tough get going
When the going gets rough, the tough get rough
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh hit it
Woah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Darling, I'll climb any mountain
Darling, I′ll swim any sea
Darling, I′ll reach for the heaven
Darling, with you loving me
Ooh (ooh)

Ooh, can I touch you? (Can I touch you?)
And do the things that lovers do (can I touch you?)
Ooh, wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you

When the going gets tough
Going gets tough
Going gets rough
Going gets rough
Going gets tough
Going gets tough
Going gets rough
Going gets rough

Going gets tough
Going gets tough
Going gets rough
Going gets rough
