| There she sits in an empty room | |
| The look on her face says it all | |
| A bruise appears round a crying eye | |
| As the tear drops sadly fall | |
| He knocked her over, he hit her | |
| And told her, she's stupid | |
| He's high as a kite once again | |
| She knows that tough love is needed | |
| To save the love of her friend | |
| There he sits in a freezing car | |
| She's in her bed in the warm | |
| The cold light of the morning sky | |
| Finds him cramped and looking worn | |
| He wanders inside on tiptoes | |
| And brews up some coffee | |
| He's shaking and sweating again | |
| She knows that tough love is needed | |
| To save the love of her friend | |
| They talk it over but it's not easy sorting it out | |
| She cannot take it when he tells lies | |
| And sneaks off out of the room | |
| Returning like somebody's lost balloon | |
| Tea leaves sit in an empty cup | |
| No expression on his face | |
| The TV's showing commercials | |
| He's back in her arms again | |
| No more the drugs and the drinking | |
| Her heart can stop sinking | |
| Now that he's home once again | |
| She knows that tough love is needed | |
| To save the love of her friend | |
| They talked it over for hours and hours and hours | |
| â€~Til everything sounded the same | |
| She knows, it's tough love that she finds in her heart | |
| To dissolve the pain |
| There she sits in an empty room | |
| The look on her face says it all | |
| A bruise appears round a crying eye | |
| As the tear drops sadly fall | |
| He knocked her over, he hit her | |
| And told her, she' s stupid | |
| He' s high as a kite once again | |
| She knows that tough love is needed | |
| To save the love of her friend | |
| There he sits in a freezing car | |
| She' s in her bed in the warm | |
| The cold light of the morning sky | |
| Finds him cramped and looking worn | |
| He wanders inside on tiptoes | |
