When The Going Gets Tough The Tough Get Going
Easy Virtue Lyrics

When the going gets tough
When times are hard

The tough get going, tough, tough, huh, huh, huh
The strong and determined become active and persevere through the difficulties, even when it is challenging and uncomfortable.

When the going gets tough, the tough get ready
In the face of adversity, those who are brave step up and prepare to act, showing their strength and resilience.

I got something to tell you
I have a message to deliver

I got something to say
I have an important idea and opinion to express

I'm gonna put this dream in motion
I will make a plan of action and execute it to achieve my goal, without allowing any obstacles or setbacks to deter me.

Never let nothing stand in my way
I will not let anything derail me from reaching my aim.

I'm gonna get myself 'cross the river
I will overcome any obstacle or challenge, no matter how difficult, to get to my destination, risking everything and accepting any costs and consequences.

That's the price I'm willing to pay
I am prepared to endure any cost or hardship in order to achieve my goal and fulfill my purpose.

I'm gonna make you stand and deliver
I will demand and expect from you what I desire, even if it is difficult or uncomfortable for you.

And give me love in the old-fashion way
I want you to show your affection and commitment to me and our relationship in a traditional, genuine, and sincere way.

Darlin', I'll climb any mountain
I am willing to conquer any challenge, obstacle, or fear in order to show my love and devotion to you.

Darlin', I'll do anything
I am prepared to undertake any task, effort, or sacrifice to prove my love and loyalty to you.

Ooh, can I touch you (can I touch you)
May I physically connect with you in a romantic and loving way?

And do the things that lovers do
Can we engage in intimate and sensual activities that express our love and passion for each other?

Ooh, want to hold you (wanna hold you)
I crave and desire to embrace you physically and comfort you emotionally.

I gotta get it through to you, oooh
I need you to hear and understand my sincere feelings and intentions.

I'm gonna buy me a one-way ticket
I will take a bold and irreversible step towards my goal, leaving behind my old life and committing to a new chapter.

Nothin's gonna hold me back
I will not allow anything or anyone to interfere or discourage me from achieving my dream.

Your love's like a slow train coming (slow train coming)
Your love is approaching me gradually and steadily, but it is still real and moving forward.

And I feel it coming down the track (woh)
I sense and anticipate your love growing and approaching me, and it fills me with hope and joy.

Darlin', I'll swim any sea
I am prepared to face and conquer any danger or risk to demonstrate my love and loyalty to you.

Darlin', I'll reach for the heaven
I am determined to pursue my highest aspirations and ideals, and I hope you will join me in this journey.

Darlin', with you lovin' me
With your affection and support, I feel empowered and encouraged to pursue my dreams and aspirations.

When the going gets tough
When times are hard

Going gets tough
Difficulties arise

Going gets rough
Struggles and challenges are encountered
