Strong Enough to Bend - Tanya Tucker

I don't feel myself today Just a figure in a big monopoly game Struggle is the price you pay You get just enough just to give it away I'm sinking but I'm floating away Throw me a line so I can anchor my pain The fabric is about to fray The fabric is about to fray Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately Things keep coming and I keep wondering I start feeling the walls close in Things keep coming and I keep stumbling I start feeling I'm strong enough to break Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break Been running through my mind today Scenarios to add to your hypocrisy No one ever takes the blame But everyone is searching for a cure to the pain Nothing ever seems to change Oh, nothing ever seems to change We just play like broken records in a deaf man's charade Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately Things keep coming and I keep wondering I start feeling the walls close in Things keep coming and I keep stumbling I start feeling I'm strong enough to break Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break Carry on just a pawn and the same old song I'm still holding on The fabric is about to fray Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately Things keep coming and I keep wondering I start feeling the walls close in Things keep coming and I keep stumbling I start feeling I'm strong enough Things keep coming and I keep wondering I start feeling the walls close in Things keep coming and I keep stumbling I start feeling I'm strong enough to break Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

I know there's times You've been tormented by the questions in your mind Will our love last Or simply fade away as time begins to pass Your a complicated lady thats for sure With a need for someone unafraid to make you feel secure *Chorus* And if you wonder if i'm strong enough to be your man Yes i am Don't let yourself imagine its a lie I'm not the kind to turn and say goodbye Even though you test my soul, and make yourself so hard to hold I'm going to make you understand i'm strong enough to be your man Do you believe when i look in your eyes, And swear i'll never leave What will it take To make you that what we have is here to stay Yes, i know that you've been loved and left before But i promise you won't ever see me walking out that door And if you wonder if i'm strong enough to be your man Yes i am Yes i am Yes i am Yes i am I know there's times you've been tormented By the questions in your mind

God, I feel like hell tonight Tears of rage I cannot lie I'd be the last to help you understand Are you strong enough to be 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 I make the rules up as I go Try and love me if you can Are you strong enough to be my man? (Strong enough, strong enough) to be my man (Strong enough) to be my man (Strong enough) to be my man Gonna show you that I just don't care Throwing punches in the air I'm broken down but I can stand And I'm strong enough to be my man Lie to me I promise I'll believe Lie to me But please, don't leave
