Notes
Strong Enough" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow from her debut album, Tuesday Night Music Club (1993). It was co-written by Crow and produced by Bill Bottrell, who also co-wrote it. The single was released in November 1994 by A&M Records, reaching number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks, number three in Australia, and number one in Canada. In Australia, the song received a double-platinum certification for sales and streams exceeding 140,000 units. Its music video was directed by Martin Bell, and filmed in black-and-white, depicting Crow alone in a large and empty room. Crow performed the song on her live album Sheryl Crow and Friends: Live from Central Park alongside the Dixie Chicks. The song was later included on Crow's greatest hits album, The Very Best of Sheryl Crow.
God, I feel like hell tonight Tears of rage I cannot fight I'd be the last to help you understand Are you strong enough to be my man? 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 Don't leave I have a face I cannot show I make the rules up as I go Just try and love me if you can Are you strong enough to be my man? My man (Are you strong enough) To be my man? (Are you strong enough) To be my man? (Are you strong enough?) My man When I've shown you that I just don't care When I'm throwing punches in the air When I'm broken down and I can't stand Would you be man enough to be my man? Lie to me I promise, I'll believe Lie to me But please, don't leave
