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
