Tough (ft. Noah Kahan)

Tough
[Verse 1: Quinn XCII]
Maybe it’s ‘cause your mom never kissed you
If you ever cried, you’d wipe with muscle tissue
You bench pressing more than me’s not the issue
I know you’re actually weaker than that
Let’s hope that nothing get deeper than that

[Pre-Chorus: Quinn XCII]
Like why, why are you only vulnerable when no-one’s around?
Your gym membership is not a crown
[Chorus: Quinn XCII]
You’re not so tough
I know that nightlight’s on when you sleep
You’re not so tough
Yeah, you watch Eat Pray Love on repeat
And I’m sure you’d win in an altercation
But you’re still insecure to me
Oh, so mess me up
I know you’re not so tough
[Verse 2: Noah Kahan]
Are you insecure that the steroids are causing hair-loss?
That your Lulu shorts don’t quite vibe with your camo AirPods
And if I ran into you past sunset, I’d probably be scared, oh
I know you’re honestly weaker than that
I bet you know that you need to relax
[Verse 3: Quinn XCII]
And I don’t mean to come at you like it’s Watergate
My pale ghostly body’s purely water-weight
Yeah, I should probably substitute what is on my plate
But I still acknowledge those feelings inside
Let’s work on your habit to run or to hide

[Pre-Chorus: Quinn XCII & Noah Kahan]
Like why, why are you only vulnerable when no-one’s around?
Your gym membership is not a crown
[Chorus: Quinn XCII & Noah Kahan]
You’re not so tough
I know that nightlight’s on when you sleep
You’re not so tough
Yeah, you watch Eat Pray Love on repeat
And I’m sure you’d win in an altercation
But you’re still insecure to me
Oh, so mess me up
I know you’re not so tough
[Bridge: Quinn XCII & Noah Kahan]
You’re not so tough
You’re not
You’re not so tough
You’re not
You’re not so tough
You’re not
You’re not so tough
You’re not
[Chorus: Quinn XCII & Noah Kahan]
You’re not so tough
I know that nightlight’s on when you sleep
You’re not so tough
Yeah, you watch Eat Pray Love on repeat
And I’m sure you’d win in an altercation
But you’re still insecure to me
Oh, so mess me up
I know you’re not so tough
