Tough Mary

Etta James - Tough Mary

Tough Mary tough Mary yeah that's me

Tough Mary is tough

The boys would come from miles around with presents every day

But when they'd call on Mary this is what she'd say

Don't bring me poses when it's shoes I need

Don't bring me flowers don't bring me the sea

Just bring me diamonds that'll suit me fine

And I'll love you forever and you'll be mine

Well Mary she's a very pretty girl I guess she was born that way

But whenever they would tell her that this is what she'd say

Don't bring me poses when it's shoes I need

Don't bring me flowers don't bring me the sea

Come on and bring me some diamonds that'll suit me fine

And I'll love you forever and you'll be mine

Tough Mary is tough

Tough Mary

Tough Mary

Tough Mary

Don't bring me poses when it's shoes I need

Don't bring me flowers don't bring me the sea

Come on and bring me some diamonds that'll suit me fine

And I'll love you forever and you'll be mine

Oh I'm tough

Yeah yeah I'm tough
