Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You should be stronger than me
You've been here seven years longer than me
Don't you know you're supposed to be the man?
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am
[Verse 2]
'Cause you always wanna talk it through, I don't care
I always have to comfort you when I'm there
But, that's what I need you to do, stroke my hair, yeah
[Verse 3]
When I've forgotten all of young love's joy
I feel like a lady, and you, my lady boy
[Verse 4]
Ay, you should be stronger than me
But instead, you're longer than frozen turkey
Why'd you always put me in control?
When all I need is for my man to live up to his role
[Verse 5]
'Cause you always wanna talk it through, I'm okay
I always have to comfort you, everyday
But that's what I need you to do, are you gay?
[Verse 6]
When I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you, my lady boy
[Verse 7]
He said, the respect I made you earn
Thought you had so many lessons to learn
I said, you don't know what love is, get a grip
When it sounds as if you're readin' from some other tired script
Because I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just wanna grip your body over mine
So, please tell me why you think that's a crime
[Verse 8]
When I've forgotten all of young love's joy
And I feel like a lady, and you, my lady boy
[Verse 9]
You should be stronger than me
Yeah, you should be stronger than me
Oh, you should be stronger than me
Oh, you should be stronger than me, yeah, yeah, yeah
