Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I guess you could say I'm one of those girls
That's always been with one of those guys
You know the type, like right now he sleeps while I write
But it's better than cryin', I'm worn out from tryin'
From lovin' a man who always makes it clear
I'm not welcome here
Just when he's hungry or frisky or needs something clean
[Verse 2]
You know what I mean but not tonight
'Cause come the morning light
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend, stick with me till the end
Won't lost myself again, never, no
'Cause there's a stronger woman, a stronger woman in me
[Verse 4]
The lightbulbs buzz, I get up
Head to my drawer, wish there was more
I could say, another fairy tale fades to gray
I've lived on hope, like a child
Walkin' that mile, fakin' that smile
All the while wishin' my heart had wings
[Verse 5]
Well, from now on I am gonna be
The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be, oh
[Verse 6]
I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend, stick with me till the end
Won't lost myself again, never, no
'Cause there's a stronger woman, a stronger woman
[Verse 7]
This is me packin' up my bags
And this is me headed for the door
And this is me, the best you ever had
[Verse 8]
I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
The stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend, stick with me till the end
Won't lost myself again, never, no no
'Cause there's a stronger woman, a stronger woman
There's a stronger woman, a stronger woman in me
[Verse 9]
A stronger woman in me
