When she told you goodbye you didn't flinch
When she looked back you didn't even budge an inch
You stood there like a stone
But now that she's gone

How strong are you now
Without her around?
You can't even keep one little bitty tear from falling down
Tell me how strong are you now?

Before she left you told yourself, it can't hurt that much
Now you're doubled over like you took a punch
No, she ain't coming back
Tell me how much can you take of that

How strong are you now
Without her around?
You can't even keep one little bitty tear from falling down
Tell me how strong are you now?

What's that rule that you live by?
'A tough guy never cries'

How strong are you now
Without her around?
You can't even keep one little bitty tear from falling down
Tell me how strong 
Tell me how strong are you now? Yeah
How strong are you now? Oh

What's that rule you live by?
You say tough guys never cry
How strong are you now?
