Yo La Tengo - Mr. Tough lyrics

Hey Mr. Tough Don't you think we've suffered enough? Why don't you meet me on the dancefloor When it's Tiny Tom time? And if you need to tell me something once You won't have to say it twice And if you ask for a nickel I'm gonna hand you a dime And we'll forget about our problems Ignore them for a little while And leave our worries in the corner Leave them in a big big pile Pretend everything can be alright Hey Mrs. Blue Time to think of something new The Possum's spinning our hips The old soft shoe And if you wanna lose the rest of the night There's nothing better I have to do And if I tell you something You won't have to ask if it's true And we'll forget about our problems Ignore them for a little while And leave our worries in the corner Leave them in a big big pile Pretend everything can be alright Alone in our pad on Saturday night Hemmed in by the room But hiding at a crowded party The record's playing for just me and you Hey Mr. Tough Don't you think we've suffered enough? Why don't you meet me on the dancefloor When it's Toddophonic time? And if you need to tell me something once You won't have to say it twice And if you ask for a nickel I'm gonna hand you a dime And we'll forget about our problems Ignore them for a little while And leave our worries in the corner Leave them in a big big pile Pretend everything can be alright Pretend everything can be alright Pretend everything can be alright
