Tough kid, take a bottle of wine when your deal is broken
Ten quid, she's so easy to blind. And not a word is spoken
Rough boys, don't walk away. I feel pretty blissed here
Tough boy, I wanna carry you home. You got pretty pissed, dear

Rough boys, don't walk away. I wanna buy your leather
Make noise, try and talk me away. We can't be seen together
Tough kids, what can I do? I'm so pale and weedy
Rough fits in my hush puppy shoes
But I'm still pleadin',
