I guess you could say I'm one of those girls

That's always been with one of those guys

You know the type

Like right now, he sleeps while I write



But it's better than crying

I'm worn out from trying

From loving a man who always makes it clear

I'm not welcome here

Just when he's hungry or frisky

or needs something cleaned

And you know what I mean



But not tonight

'Cause come the morning light, oh

I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else

Believe in me, even if someone can't see

The stronger woman in me



I'm going to be my own best friend

Stick with me till the end

Won't lose myself again, never, no,

'Cause there's a stronger woman,

A stronger woman in me



Light bulbs buzz,

I get up

And head to my drawer

I wish there was more

I could say

Another fairytale fades to gray

I've lived on hope

Just like a child

Walking that mile

Faking that smile

All the while

Wishing my heart had wings



Well from now on I'm going to be

The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be, oh



I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else

Believe in me, even if someone can't see

A stronger woman in me

I'm gonna be my own best friend

Stick with me till the end

I won't lose myself again, never, no

'Cause there's a stronger woman,

A stronger woman



This is me, packing up my bags

And this is me, headed for the door

And this is me, the best you ever had

I'm going to love myself

More than anyone else

Believe in me even if someone cannot see

There's a stronger woman in me

I'm going to be my own best friend

Stay with me till the end

Won't lose myself again, never, no

'Cause there's a stronger woman

A stronger woman

There's a stronger woman,

A stronger woman in me,

Yeah...
