Rough and Ready Lyrics
Were you brought up on the street?
Did ya make it on your own?
Are ya living in the shadow?
Crawling in the night?
Sleeping in the subway?
Beggin' for a fight?
Makes you grow up hard, boy
Makes you ready for a fightI don't need no one
You can keep your sympathy
I live on my own
I would make bad companyI don't need no one
You can keep your sympathy
I live on my own
I would make bad company
I'm rough and ready tonight
God help you!Standing on the corner
Yeah and I asked ya for smoke
Well, I kick you in the teeth, boy
I steal away your doughGot into a knife fight
They cut me to the bone
Don't ya mess with me, boy
Ya better leave me aloneI don't need no one
You can keep your sympathy
I live on my own
I would make bad companyI don't need no one
You can keep your sympathy
I live on my own
I would make bad company
I'm rough and ready tonight
God help you!Maybe steal a car, girl
I'll take ya for a ride
The cops will never break me
Steal away my prideIf you're looking for a good time
And ya wanna ride with me
And you're feeling rough and ready
Rough and ready with meYou can change my life
You can read my mind
I don't want no one, I don't have no one, I don't need no one
You can keep your sympathyWere you're brought up on the street?
Did ya make it on your own?
Are ya living in the shadow?
Crawling in the night?
Sleeping in the subway?
Begging for a fight?
Makes you grow up hard, boy
Makes you ready for a fightI don't need no one
You can keep your sympathy
I live on my own
I would make bad companyI don't need no one
You can keep your sympathy
I live on my own
I would make bad company
I'm rough and ready tonight
God help you!
God help you!Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight
