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?'"
