Lyrics and translation Etta James - Tough Mary

Tough Mary

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Yeah, that′s me
(Tough Mary is tough!)

[Backup]
The boys would come from miles around
With presents every day
But when they'd call on Mary
This is what she′d say

Don't bring me posies
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
When it's shoes I need
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don′t bring me flowers
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don′t bring me the sea
(Tough Mary is tough!)
Just bring me diamonds
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
That'll suit me fine
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And I′ll love you forever
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And you'll be mine
(Tough Mary is tough!)

[Backup]
Well Mary, she′s a very pretty girl
I guess she was born that way
But whenever they would tell her that
This is what she'd say

Don′t bring me posies
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
When it's shoes I need
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don't bring me flowers
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don′t bring me the sea
(Tough Mary is tough!)
Come on and bring me some diamonds
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
That′ll suit me fine
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And I'll love you forever
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And you′ll be mine
(Tough Mary is tough!)

[Backup]
Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...

Oh, don't bring me posies
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
When it′s shoes I need
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don't bring me flowers
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Don′t bring me the sea
(Tough Mary is tough!)
Come on and bring me some diamonds
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
That'll suit me fine
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And I'll love you forever
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
And you′ll be mine
(Tough Mary is tough!)

Oh, I′m tough
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Yeah, yeah I'm tough
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Ooh...

Tough Mary

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Ouais, c'est moi
(Tough Mary est dure!)

[Backup]
Les garçons venaient de kilomètres à la ronde
Avec des cadeaux tous les jours
Mais quand ils appelaient Mary
C'est ce qu'elle disait

N'apportez pas de fleurs
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Quand j'ai besoin de chaussures
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
N'apportez pas de fleurs
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
N'apportez pas la mer
(Tough Mary est dure!)
Apportez-moi des diamants
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Ça me conviendra parfaitement
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Et je t'aimerai pour toujours
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Et tu seras à moi
(Tough Mary est dure!)

[Backup]
Eh bien, Mary, c'est une très jolie fille
J'imagine qu'elle est née comme ça
Mais chaque fois qu'ils lui disaient ça
C'est ce qu'elle disait

N'apportez pas de fleurs
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Quand j'ai besoin de chaussures
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
N'apportez pas de fleurs
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
N'apportez pas la mer
(Tough Mary est dure!)
Viens et apporte-moi des diamants
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Ça me conviendra parfaitement
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Et je t'aimerai pour toujours
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Et tu seras à moi
(Tough Mary est dure!)

[Backup]
Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...

Oh, n'apportez pas de fleurs
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Quand j'ai besoin de chaussures
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
N'apportez pas de fleurs
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
N'apportez pas la mer
(Tough Mary est dure!)
Viens et apporte-moi des diamants
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Ça me conviendra parfaitement
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Et je t'aimerai pour toujours
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Et tu seras à moi
(Tough Mary est dure!)

Oh, je suis dure
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Ouais, ouais je suis dure
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)
Ooh...
