It's a Rough World

It's a rough world, awful tough

It's a rough world we live in
Sometimes I want to give up and run away
And though I may bend, I won't give in
As rough as this world can be
It won't get the best of me

Those who lose hope and feel they can't cope
are mistaken, you see
'Cause whatever it takes, I'm not gonna break
As rough as this world can be
It won't get the best of me

Sometimes I run to a dead end
I pick myself up and try it again
If I go the wrong way on a one-way street
I still play to win but sometimes I get beat
It's a rough world, such a rough world

Life may seem an elevator that goes only down
Life can get rough, it gets a little tough
But rough as this world can be
It won't get the best of me

People steal and rob while I work hard to make ends meet
I may stumble and fall, but through it all
But rough as this world can be
It won't get the best of me

Sometimes I run to a dead end
I pick myself up and try it again
If I go the wrong way on a one-way street
I still play to win but sometimes I get beat
It's a rough world, such a rough world

Sometimes I run and run
I pick myself up and try it again
If I go the wrong way on a one-way street
I still play to win but sometimes I get beat
It's a rough world, such a rough world
