I Would Be Stronger Than That

[Intro]
        

[Verse]
                                        
There s a friend who will call when her husband s asleep
                                    
Crossing the phone lines for comfort
                                      
And she cries that she needs him, that someday he ll change
                           
But now s not a good time to go

[Verse]
                            
And it isn t my place to say, leave him and run
                                        
That no love is worth all the damage he s done
                                              
But if she ll hold her ground, then I ll hold my tongue
              
Ever the diplomat
                                            
Oh, I d like to think that I would be stronger than that

[Chorus]
           
Where s her head?
           
Where s her nerve?
                                 
Part of her thinks this is all she deserves?
              
Oh, I would be stronger
                   
I wouldn t stay one minute longer
                       
I would be stronger than that

[Verse]
                                        
Well, it started out good, they usually do
                                   
Then one day it s taken for granted
                                       
Til words become weapons and turn into pain
                          
Oh, why s she still holding on?

[Verse]
                              
She said, living without him is too hard to face
                                 
And I try to imagine myself in her place
                                        
But with well chosen words and well placed tears
                                
She forgives him in two seconds flat
                                            
Oh, I d like to think that I would be stronger than that

[Bridge]
                                     
Well, I know what she s thinking and I know what she d say
                            
That my life and hers are like night and like day
                                  
And her love is the love that will save him
                             
Brave words, but I don t believe them

[Chorus]
            
Where s her head?
           
Where s her nerve?
                                 
Part of her thinks this is all she deserves?
              
Oh, I would be stronger
                   
I wouldn t stay one minute longer
                       
I would be stronger than that
              
Oh, I would be stronger
                   
I wouldn t stay one minute longer
                           
You can be stronger than that___
             
Stronger than that
