(gary burr)

there´s a friend who will call
when her husband´s asleep
crossing the phone lines for comfort
and she cries that she needs him and
someday he´ll change
and now´s not a good time to go
and it isn´t my place to say leave him and run
that no love is worth all the damage he´s done
but if she´ll hold her ground
then i´ll hold my tongue
ever the diplomat
oh, i´d like to think
that i would be stronger than that

where´s her head
where´s her nerve
does part of her think this is all she deserves
oh, i would be stronger
i would not stay one minute longer
i would be stronger than that

it started out good they usually do
then one day it´s taken for granted
´til words become weapons and love turns to pain
oh, why is she still holding on
she says living without him is too hard to face
and i try to imagine myself in her place
but with well chosen words and well placed tears
she forgives him in two seconds flat
oh, i´d like to think
that i would be stronger than that

where´s her head
where´s her nerve
does part of her think this is all she deserves
oh, i would be stronger
i would not stay one minute longer
i would be stronger than that

i know what she´s thinking and i know what she´d say
that my life and her life are like night and like day
and her love is the love that will save him
brave words but i don´t believe them

where´s her head
where´s her nerve
does part of her think this is all she deserves
oh, i would be stronger
i would not stay one minute longer
i would be stronger than that

oh, i would be stronger
i would not wait one minute longer
i would be stronger than that
