Lyrics

[Intro]
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
Yeah, that's me
Tough Mary is tough!
[Verse 1]
The boys would come from miles around
With presents every day
But when they'd call on Mary
This is what she'd say
[Chorus]
Don't bring me posies
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
When it's shoes I need
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
Don't bring me flowers
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
Don't bring me the sea
Tough Mary is tough!
Just bring me diamonds
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
That'll suit me fine
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
And I'll love you forever
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
And you'll be mine
Tough Mary is tough!
[Verse 2]
Well, Mary, she's a very pretty girl
I guess she was born that way
But whenever they would tell her that
This is what she'd say
[Chorus]
Don't bring me posies
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
When it's shoes I need
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
Don't bring me flowers
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
Don't bring me the sea
Tough Mary is tough!
Come on and bring me some diamonds
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
That'll suit me fine
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
And I'll love you forever
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
And you'll be mine
Tough Mary is tough!
[Bridge]
Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...
[Chorus]
Oh, don't bring me no posies
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
When it's shoes I need
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
Don't bring me flowers
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
Don't bring me the sea
Tough Mary is tough!
Come on and bring me some diamonds
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
That'll suit me fine
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
And I'll love you forever
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
And you'll be mine
Tough Mary is tough!
[Outro]
Oh, I'm tough
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
Yeah, yeah I'm tough
Tough Mary, Tough Mary
Ooh...
Tough Mary
