Hi Jan,
Here are the lyrics to 'Tough Enough'.
This is a great number from Cliff & The Shads, and also a great example the the fanstic early sound they had way back then.
I still get goose bumps even now when I listen to this track.

The lyrics are as supplied to me along with a BT of this number,
there are some variations of the lyrics to this song around, but this version is as I remember it from the good old day's.

I hope it is of use to you
All The best
Vic.

[I picked up my baby just the other night
A we went a riding in the moonlight
I had real fine music on my radio
We're cool and pretty now don't you know
Oh there we were in a lovers lane
I said I'm out of gas baby and it' looks like rain
She said ooowee that's tough enough

My pretty baby she a looks so fine
I nearly drove my baby out of my mind
Settled easy kinda whispered low
She said Daddy Daddy I love you so
And I said ooowee that's tough enough

Now I searched everywhere all across the world
I'll never find no one that could top my girl
She thrills me from my head down to my toes
You see any sugar in my sugar bowl

And if it takes me for the rest of my life
Hey the people gonna make her my wife
I love my baby and it's plain to see
A when she rolls those big brown eyes at me
I go ooowee that's tough enough

Instrumental

My pretty baby she a looks so fine
I almost drove my baby out of my mind
Settled easy kinda whispered low
She said Daddy Daddy I love you so
And I said ooowee that's tou

Jan / Shady,
Some of the songs in Warren's set were fairly obscure. I'd never heard this song (when I was doing my set lists) - but 'homed in' on the repeated - "She's tough....tough enough". I decided that the title was probably "Tough Enough" - whilst obviously not being the Cliff Richard song - it seemed like a nice connection. However - it is (as someone else said) by the Fabulous Thunderbirds & the proper title is "She's Tuff". Here are the words:

"You oughta* see my baby when she walk down the street
Upsettin' everybody she meet
She's twenty-three in the waist, thirty-eight in the hips
She got long black wavy hair and ruby-red lips

She's tuff
Ooh, she's tuff
My baby's tuff, she ruff and tuff
And that's tuff enough

She walk past a clock
The clock won't tell time
She walk through the college
Professor lose his mind

'Cause she's tuff
Ooh, she's tuff
My baby's tuff, she ruff and tuff
And that's tuff enough

The President said to my baby, "Come here, sweetheart
You can stop a world war even before it start
We know the enemy won't pull the trigger
When they walk out on the front line and they see your fine figure"

'Cause you tuff
Ooh, she's tuff
My baby's tuff, she ruff and tuff
And that's tuff enough

And that's tuff enough
And that's tuff enough
And that's tuff enough"

* Warren sang 'wanna'

Best wishes,

Rob :D

Hi Trayc,
If you're referring to Cliff - then "Tough Enough" was on "21 Today" - probably now deleted but you can likely find s/h copies on EBay / Amazon etc. Or a compilation like "Rock On With Cliff Richard" (CD MFP 6005). If it's the Fabulous Thunderbirds you mean...well, I just don't know enough about them.

Bests....Rob :)
