From a desperate place, how do I reach you
You know I scare myself, these crazy nights without you
And I feel your pain, when I see you cry
We could turn around now, you're my reason to try

We've all seen some trouble, but we've always come thru
You know things could get better, hey babe, believe me

Tough times don't last, lovers do, baby, don't get hurt on me and you
'Cos trouble's just a storm that's gonna pass, tough times don't last

We can work so hard, till we feel the strain
We can get so close, it's the distance we can't explain
Still I reach for you in the pourin' rain
Like a change in the weather, here comes the sun
Things can only get better, hey babe, believe me

Tough times don't last, lovers do, baby, don't get hurt on me and you
'Cos trouble's like a storm that's gonna pass, tough times don't last

(Instrumental break)

You say now that your heart is breakin' from the wild times that you've lived
Better make sure that the risks that you're takin'
Hey babe, can only get better

Tough times don't last, lovers do, baby, don't get hurt on me and you
'Cos trouble's like a storm that's gonna pass, tough times don't

Tough times don't last, lovers do, me and you, believe me baby, oh yeah
Tough times don't last, baby now, oh yeah... (to fade)
