I Would Be Stronger Than That

<br>There`s a friend who will call<br>When her husband`s asleep<br>Crossing the phone lines for comfort<br>And she cries that she needs him and<br>Someday he`ll change<br>And now`s not a good time to go<br>And it isn`t my place to say leave him and run<br>That no love is worth all the damage he`s done<br>But if she`ll hold her ground<br>Then I`ll hold my tongue<br>Ever the diplomat<br>Oh, I`d like to think<br>That I would be stronger than that<br><br>Where`s her head<br>Where`s her nerve<br>Does part of her think this is all she deserves<br>Oh, I would be stronger<br>I would not stay one minute longer<br>I would be stronger than that<br><br>It started out good they usually do<br>Then one day it`s taken for granted<br>`Til words become weapons and love turns to pain<br>Oh, why is she still holding on<br>She says living without him is too hard to face<br>And I try to imagine myself in her place<br>But with well chosen words and well placed tears<br>She forgives him in two seconds flat<br>Oh, I`d like to think<br>That I would be stronger than that<br><br>Where`s her head<br>Where`s her nerve<br>Does part of her think this is all she deserves<br>Oh, I would be stronger<br>I would not stay one minute longer<br>I would be stronger than that<br><br>I know what she`s thinking and I know what she`d say<br>That my life and her life are like night and like day<br>And her love is the love that will save him<br>Brave words but I don`t believe them<br><br>Where`s her head<br>Where`s her nerve<br>Does part of her think this is all she deserves<br>Oh, I would be stronger<br>I would not stay one minute longer<br>I would be stronger than that<br><br>Oh, I would be stronger<br>I would not wait one minute longer<br>I would be stronger than that
