Tougher Than The Rest
Bruce Springsteen
4:34Max One, two, three, four Well, the midnight boys are outside Scraping tears up off the street Standin' guard beneath the window Where only Linda sleeps The leader is a kid named Eddie Walkin' like an angel in defeat He trashes her old man's car Slashes Linda's name in the seat And calls out Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? In a room full of contenders, Eddie spars 'Til he drops to his bed and surrenders Draped in the scarves e stole from Linda's room The night he laid at her feet When the midnight boys were stranded Down on Cason Street Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Of St. Mary's Eddie hides from the rain Wait a minute, we fucked the whole thing up right there I told you it was the first time Top of that verse One, two, three In the basement of St. Mary's Eddie hides from the rain In with the stolen sisters 'Til the streets are dry again Talkin' fast cars and spare parts Empty homes and broken hearts Distant worlds with strange girls And kneeling with Linda in the dark, come on Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Oh-oh-oh Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Oh-oh-oh Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Oh-oh-oh Linda, will you let me be the one? Linda, will you let me be the one? Oh-oh-oh Linda, will you let me be the one? Close Oh, close, close, close, close
