Lyrics

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 gets going

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

Darlin', I'll climb any mountain,
Darlin?, 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, oooh

When the going gets tough The tough get going
When the going gets rough The tough get rough
Yeah, yeah, yeah,ye-ah

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 feel it coming down the track,
Woooh

Darlin', I'll climb any mountain
Darlin', 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)

'Cos when the going gets tough The tough get going
When the going gets rough, The tough get rough
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Darlin', I'll climb any mountain
Darlin', I'll swim any sea
Darlin', I'll reach for the heaven
Darlin', with you lovin' me
Oooh (oooh)

Oooh, can I touch you (can I touch you)
And do the things that lovers do (can I touch you)
Oooh, 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)
