Some girls they want a handsome Dan,
    C  G    D
or some good looking Joe
     G      C            G  D
On their arms some girls like a sweet talking Romeo

I learned you get what you can get

honey, I'm tougher than the rest

The road is dark,
           G
and it's a thin, thin line
         C             D  G
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time

Maybe your other boyfriends,
         G
Couldn't pass the test
                  C

honey, I'm tougher than the rest
