Strong Enough
 

 Written by S. Crow and J. Trott; Sung by S. Crow with S. Nicks

God, I feel like hell tonight Tears of rage I cannot fight I'd be the last to help you understand Are you strong enough to be my man? My man Nothing's true and nothing's right So let me be alone tonight 'Cause you can't change the way I am Are you strong enough to be my man? Lie to me I promise, I'll believe Lie to me But, please, don't leave I have a face I cannot show Make the rules up as I go So try to love me if you can Are you strong enough to be my man? My man Are you strong enough to be my man? Are you strong enough? Are you strong enough, my man? When I've shown you that I just don't care When I'm throwing punches in the air When I'm broken down and I can't stand Are you man enough to be my man? Lie to me I promise, I'll believe Lie to me But, please, don't leave

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

Although Sheryl Crow wrote this song, when Stevie sang it with her on VH1 Storytellers, Stevie commented that she related to it because "for women like Sheryl and I who have this extreme kind of career, every time we meet a nice, new man, it crosses our mind: 'Are you strong enough to possibly deal with our incredibly odd life?'"
