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
