Play Tough Lyrics
Saturday you woke me up from a dream
Torn out of the pages of a magazine
REPEAT #1:
You got to play tough, my love (whoa)
You got to play cool (whoa)
You got to play tough, my love
When you play me for a fool
(When you play me for a...)
Saturday you woke me up into a drag
Peaches in the creases of a plastic bag
REPEAT #1
When you play me for a fool
A fool
A fool
When you play me for a...
Saturday is not the ideal day to break up
Don't you know it takes a little time to wake up
REPEAT #1
REPEAT #1
(For a fool
You fool
You fool
When you play me for a fool)
Torn out of the pages of a magazine
You got to play tough, my love (whoa)
You got to play cool (whoa)
You got to play tough, my love
When you play me for a fool
(When you play me for a...)
Peaches in the creases of a plastic bag
A fool
A fool
When you play me for a...
Don't you know it takes a little time to wake up
You fool
You fool
When you play me for a fool)

this song makes me think of torture. the really sadistic "I do this cause I love you" kind. you know, the good kind.
After the final verse and the repeated coarse, it goes
The sun is out The sun is out come on come on come on come on come on come on check it out
to me this song is about a guy talking to his girlfriend and saying that even though she cheated on him(played him for a fool) she has to act unhurt by the break up. i.e. play tough. And in the last verse he is saying don't be sad, the sun is out, and it's beautiful, come check it out.
