When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going Lyrics
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the going gets tough
The tough gets rough
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 get 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
Darlin'
I'll climb any mountain
Darlin'
I'll do anything
Ooo, can I touch you?
And do the things that lovers do?
Ooo, wanna hold you
I gotta get it through to you
Ooo
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the going gets rough
The tough get 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
Darlin'
I'll climb any mountain
Darlin'
I'll do anything
Ooo, can I touch you?
And do the things that lovers do?
Ooo, wanna hold you
I gotta get it through to you
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the going gets rough
The tough get rough
Darlin'
I'll climb any mountain
Darlin'
I'll swim any sea
Darlin'
I'll reach for the heavens
Darlin'
With you lovin' me
Ooo, can I touch you?
And do the things that lovers do?
Ooo, 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...
The tough get going
When the going gets tough
The tough gets rough
I got something to say
I'm gonna put this dream in motion
Never let nothing stand in my way
The tough get going
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
I'll climb any mountain
Darlin'
I'll do anything
And do the things that lovers do?
Ooo, wanna hold you
I gotta get it through to you
Ooo
The tough get going
When the going gets rough
The tough get rough
Nothing's gonna hold me back
Your love's like a slow train coming
And I feel it coming down the track
I'll climb any mountain
Darlin'
I'll do anything
And do the things that lovers do?
Ooo, wanna hold you
I gotta get it through to you
The tough get going
When the going gets rough
The tough get rough
I'll climb any mountain
Darlin'
I'll swim any sea
Darlin'
I'll reach for the heavens
Darlin'
With you lovin' me
And do the things that lovers do?
Ooo, wanna hold you
I gotta get it through to you
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...

"Darlin' I'll climb any mountain Darlin' I'll do anything".
I've climbed a mountain-funny they aren't impressed...lol. I love this song out of them the best.
Hey "Mutt" Lange co-wrote it...

This song gave me nightmares when I was a small child. I'm not saying this is a truly horrible song. I'm just saying, use it at your elementary school's Halloween party, in the haunted house. Wherever you keep the vampire section.
