You're lookin' right you're walkin' tight
You think everybody wants you
Cause you can do it all night
Don't think you heard me the first time
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Is is a shock to ya
That I'm not standin' in line

So take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
If you're tough enough

Oh you magnetized me
You really paralyzed me
Got me so crazy that I couldn't see
What kinda guy you were
But when I caught you in my car
You were huggin' and kissin' her
I sad boy you've gone too far
You've really gone too far

So take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
If you're tough enough
If you're rough enough

I can be a fool all by myself
I can get along without your help
I can whisper dirty words with someone else
Better than you do
Better than you do

I can use the phone without your dime
I can be alone and dance all night
Don't worry 'bout me
Cause I'll be alright

So take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
If you're tough enough

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
