Iris, Donnie - Tough World Lyrics






Baby whatcha gonna do
Go ahead and make your move
First you say ya love me
Say you'll never leave me
Now you say that we are through

It's a tough world
Ain't it a rough world

Without love it's true
I don't know what I would do
So if you're gonna leave me
Go ahead and leave me
'Cause I'm gonna find somebody new

It's a tough world
Ain't it a rough world
It's a tough world rough world stab it in the back world
Tough world
It's a hard world cold world hit you where it hurts world
Rough world... Tough world
It's a tough life rough life try to make a buck life
Tough life
Get a job hotshot make it to the top
Rough life... tough life

I'm gonna hold my chin up high
I'm gonna walk right out the door
And I'm gonna make it
Yeah I'm gonna make it
'Cause I don't need you anymore

Iris, Donnie Tough World Comments
  1. G.... Z....

    I saw Donnie and the Cruisers at the old "SUMMERS" on the "old" Fort Lauderdale strip in 1982....It was one of the hottest, sweatiest and BEST live club shows i ever saw....UNTIL 2006...I saw Donnie play a bar in Pittsburgh PA (drove from Buffalo)..He blew the roof off! He could still WAIL!

  2. J.... ....

    I read on Wikipedia that this album sold poorly in 1982, but it should've done so much better. I actually think it has his catchiest songs, I always come back to this one. He's underrated in general even by 80s fans.

  3. P.... M....

    VERY UNDERRATED ALBUM 'THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY'

  4. K.... C....

    This entire album needs to be on CD -- may not be as strong as the group's first two albums, but it is underrated. Their version of 'Glad All Over' is awesome -- should have been released as a single.

  5. p.... ....

    get a job, hotshot !

  6. K.... C....

    "Get a job hotshot."

  7. J.... S....

    That song was awesome live. The keyboards swirled around you,ya' felt the bass in your chest,the drums moved you and the guitars had it in the pocket. I love Donnie Iris And The Cruisers,Marty Lee is just down the road from me...

  8. J.... a....

    you know he was proud to be from the Burgh

    J.... a....

    Except that he wasn't and isn't from the Burgh. That's like saying LeBron James is from Cleveland.

  9. S.... ....

    Man, I haven't heard this since '85!

  10. r.... ....

    Great song!!  This one and "Love Is Like a Rock" are Donnie's two best.  Thanks for posting.  Billboard # 57, Cash Box # 63.
