When The Going Gets Tough

Music and lyrics by Barry J. Eastmond, Billy Ocean, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, Wayne Braithwaite


When the going gets tough
The tough get going on

I got something to tell you
I got something to say
I'm gonna put this dream in motion
Never let nothing stand in my way

When the going gets tough
The tough gets going

I'm gonna get myself 'cross the river
That's the price I'm willing to pay
I'm gonna make you stand and deliver
And give me love in the old-fashioned way

Daaaaaaaaarlin'
I'll climb any mountain
Daaaaaaaaarlin'
I'll do anything

  Chorus
Ooh, can I touch you (can I touch you)
And do the things that lovers do
Ooh, wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you
When the going gets tough
The tough gets going
When the going gets rough
The tough gets rough

I'm gonna buy me a one-way ticket
Nothing's gonna hold me back
Your love's like a slow train coming
And I feel it coming down the track

Daaaaaaaaaaarlin'
I'll climb any mountain
Daaaaaaaaaaarlin'
I'll do anything

  Chorus

Daaaaaaaaaaarlin'
I'll climb any mountain
Daaaaaaaaaaarlin'
I'll swim any sea
Daaaaaaaaaaarlin'
I'll reach for the heavens
Daaaaaaaaaaarlin'
With you lovin' me
Oooh (oooh)

Oooh, can I touch you (can I touch you)
And do the things that lovers do (can I touch you)
Oooh, wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you

When the going gets tough
Going gets tough
When the going gets rough
Going gets rough
When the going gets tough
Going gets rough
When the going gets rough
Going gets rough
(Repeat until fade)
