[Verse 1]
I want to take you down
Until the morning light
Why don't you come around
And let me treat you right?
I'm the one
Who gave you what you never had
You said I should be gentle and be good
But hoped to Hell I would be bad

[Chorus]
Well, I want to take you
Baby, going to make you
Gimme tough love
C'mon and please me
Take your time and tease me
Gimme tough love

[Bridge]
I tie you to the rings
I feel your fever rise
We love to do the things
That others fantasize

[Pre-Chorus]
And then
You smile and bring me to my knees
But when I try a gentle lullaby
I swear I hear you sighing, "Please"
[Chorus]
Well, I want to take you
Baby, going to make you
Gimme tough love
C'mon and please me
Take your time and tease me
Gimme tough love
Tough

[Bridge]
I never knew
How much I needed you 'til now
But now I know
And tonight I'm going to show you how

[Pre-Chorus]
And then
I smile and bring you to your knees
And though I try a gentle lullaby
I swear I hear you sighing, "Please"

[Chorus]
Well, I want to take you
Baby, going to make you
Gimme tough love
C'mon and please me
Take your time and tease me
Gimme tough love
Give it to me
Gimme tough love
Tough
