Stronger

 I don't know the right words to say
I don't know the right way to be
I've always kinda rolled along
like a pretty lost tumbleweed
I know you see things your way
I know you have certain dreams
you wonder if I can keep up
I think you worry too much about me

I'm a lot stronger than I look
haven't you heard there's more to a book
than the coffee rings on the cover?
give me credit, I'm your lover
I've got to be stronger than I look
to love you

I listen to you tell me the ways
I could be better, I could change
don't you realize I'm changing anyway?
I'm not like the hook of a song
you tweak a little till it's not wrong
I'm a person, I breathe, and I need
I do what I want and sometimes I bleed
and I clean up the mess when I do

I'm a lot stronger than I look
haven't you heard there's more to a book
than the coffee rings on the cover?
give me credit, I'm your lover
I've got to be stronger than I look
to love you

I think the questions you're asking
need a different direction
look in the mirror
are you strong enough?
are you strong enough
to be my love?

I know you see things your way
I know you have certain dreams
you wonder if I can keep up
I think you worry too much about me

I'm a lot stronger than I look
haven't you heard there's more to a book
than the coffee rings on the cover?
give me credit, I'm your lover
I've got to be stronger than I look
to love you
