Don't know nothing 'bout soul
seems the whole scene's headed for a big plateau
we've got reggae bands sucking up the good gigs
leaving nothing left for the white kids
You've got to keep your eyes on the good things
don't let them be defiled by the bad things
keep running and you're going to rise above it
but you've got to be tough enough to love it

You've got to be tough enough to love

Started off trying to deny this
that a good melody was bound to be timeless
living on mac n cheese is getting pretty old
considering how many records we've sold
but I'm not going to cry about being on the road
I'm not going to think about dying or getting old
I keep a simple record of the places that I go
so I can show all the people who don't know

You've got to be tough enough to love

You only get one life and it may not have a meaning
but feeling good is wonderful and plenty to believe in
You've got a family, your health, and a soul
don't be surprised if you find people who don't need much more
they understand that obstacles happen for a reason
if everything was known there'd be nothing left to believe in
just don't accentuate the negative and give in
understand that this is your life and you're living it

You've got to be tough enough to love
