I didn't mean to make this hard on you I'm sorry that I brought you down But don't you know I get a little lost sometimes Cause all these people hanging around And I know sometimes I feel like giving in But honey could you please hold on a little bit Oh woman be strong Woman, Woman won't you be strong now I'm sorry that I, I always made you cry I wish I hadn't cracked the wall And everytime I stop to think of you I wish I'd been man enough to call Yes, I know it's hard sometimes Putting up with these old wicked ways of mine Oh woman, be strong Woman, be strong Oh, woman won't you be strong now It would be better if you would just walk away But honey don't you know that I I want you I need you to stay, stay, stay, stay Baby won't you stay Woman won't you be strong Woman won't you be strong Woman won't you please be strong be strong... [repeat]
