  • I guess you could say I'm one of those girls
    That's always been with one of those guys
    You know the type
    Like right now, he sleeps while I write

    But it's better than crying
    I'm worn out from trying
    From loving a man who always makes it clear
    I'm not welcome here
    Just when he's hungry or frisky
    Or needs something cleaned
    You know what I mean

    But not tonight
    'Cause come the morning light

    I'm gonna love myself, more than anyone else
    Believe in me, even if someone can't see
    A stronger woman in me
    I'm going to be my own best friend
    Stick with me till the end
    Won't lose myself again, never, no,
    'Cause there's a stronger woman,
    A stronger woman in me

    The light bulbs buzz,
    I get up
    Head to my drawer
    I wish there was more
    I could say
    Another fairytale fades to gray
    I've lived on hope
    Like a child
    Walking that mile
    Faking that smile
    All the while
    Wishing my heart had wings

    Well from now on I'm going to be
    The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be, oh

    I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
    Believe in me, even if someone can't see
    A stronger woman in me
    I'm gonna be my own best friend
    Stick with me till the end
    Won't lose myself again, never, no
    'Cause there's a stronger woman,
    A stronger woman

    This is me, packing up my bags
    And this is me, headed for the door
    This is me, the best you ever had.

    I'm going to love myself
    More than anyone else
    Believe in me even if someone cannot see
    The stronger woman in me
    I'm going to be my own best friend
    Stay with me till the end
    Won't lose myself again, no, no
    'Cause there's a stronger woman
    A stronger woman
    There's a stronger woman,
    A stronger woman in me,
    A stronger woman in me Writer/s: JEWEL KILCHER, MARV GREEN
