I Would Be Stronger Than That Lyrics

There's a friend who will call
When her husbands asleep
Crossing the phone lines for comfort
And she cries that she needs him and
Someday he'll change
And now's not a good time to go
And it isn't my place to say leave him and run
Cause 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

Where's her head?
Where's her nerve?
Does part of her think this is all she deserves?
Oh I would be stronger
I would not stay one minute longer
I would be stronger than that

It started out good, they usually do
Then one day it's taken for granted
Til word become weapons and love turns to pain
Oh, why is she still holding on
She says 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

Where's her head?
Where's her nerve?
Does part of her think this is all she deserves?
Oh I would be stronger
I would not stay one minute longer
I would be stronger than that

I know what she's thinking and I know what she'd say
That my life and her life are like night and like day
And her love is the love that will save him
Brave words, but I don't believe them

Where's her head?
Where's her nerve?
Does part of her think this is all she deserves?
Oh I would be stronger
I would not stay one minute longer
I would be stronger than that

Oh I would be stronger than that
I would not wait one minute longer
I would be stronger than that
