Hey Mr. Tough
Don't you think we've suffered enough?
Why don't you meet me on the dancefloor
When it's time-to-time time?
And if you need to tell me something once
You won't have to say it twice
And if you ask for a nickel
I'm gonna hand you a dime
And we'll forget about our problems at home
For a little while
And leave our worries in the corner
Leave them in a big big pile
Pretend everything can be alright

Hey Mrs. Blue
Time to think of something new
We pause from spinning our hits
The old soft shoe
And if you wanna lose the rest of the night
There's nothing better I have to do
And if I tell you something
You won't have to ask if it's true
And we'll forget about our problems at home
For a little while
And leave our worries in the corner
Leave them in a big big pile
Pretend everything can be alright

Alone and uptight
On a Saturday night
?? by the room
I'm hiding in a crowded party
The records playing
For just me and you

Hey Mr. Tough
Don't you think we've suffered enough?
Why don't you meet me on the dancefloor
When it's time-to-find-it time?
And if you need to tell me something once
You won't have to say it twice
And if you ask for a nickel
I'm gonna hand you a dime
And we'll forget about our problems at home
For a little while
And leave our worries in the corner
Leave them in a big big pile
Pretend everything can be alright
Pretend everything can be alright
Pretend everything can be alright
