it's time to get rough

They keep saying

Don't stop

no, it's never enough

I'll never look back

never give up

And if it gets rough

it's time to get rough

But now I'm falling, falling

Falling, falling, falling

Falling, falling

falling, falling, oh

Now we're going down

And I can feel the eyes

are watching us so closely

I'm trying

not to make a sound

'Cause I'll be found out

somehow

Don't stop, no

I'll never give up

And I'll never look back

just hold your head up

And if it gets rough

it's time to get rough

Don't stop

no it's never enough

I'll never look back

never give up

And if it gets rough

it's time to get rough

So maybe we won't

all win the lottery.

Or marry royalty.

Or make that last-second shot.

But that doesn't mean we won't

have amazing adventures...

Aw...

I want one.

...meet exceptional people...

and make indelible memories.

The trick is...

to notice.

Before it's too late.

Oh, and Margo?

Someone said they

saw her in New York,

starring in a revival

of The Fantasticks.

Someone else said

she's on the West Coast

teaching surf lessons

in Malibu.

I don't listen to those

rumors anymore.

Wherever she is...

whatever she's up to...

I'm sure it's

pretty something.

But, hey...

that's her story to tell.

I know it's not the right time tonight

But I won't move until this

stops

Go back to the top

Back to the top

I'm not scared if you

run to me

Lost like when you were mine

You can take

what you want from me

Just don't

offer me your time

Stay, life can be long

Wanna know, wanna know wanna

know, wanna know it's true

When you say

I want you around

Gotta make me believe you

I know it's not the right time tonight

But I won't move until this

stops

Go back to the top

Back to the top

I know it's not the right time tonight

But I won't move until this

stops

Go back to the top

Back to the top
