 If I were a tower of strength, I'd walk away
 I'd look in your eyes and here's what I'd say
 "I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"
 And I'd walk out that door

 You'd be down on your knees
 You'd be calling to me-ee
 But a tower of a-strength is a-something I'll never be

 If I were a tower of strength, I'd watch you cry
 I'd laugh at your tears and tell you goodbye
 "I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"
 And I'd walk out that door

 You'd be down on your knees
 You'd be calling to me-ee
 But a tower of a-strength is a-something I'll never be

 "I don't want you, I don't a-need you, I don't love you any more"
 And I'd walk out that door

 You'd be down on your knees, ahh-huh
 You'd be calling to me-ee-ee
 But a tower of a-strength is a-something I'll never be
