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

{Chorus:}
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 second flat
Oh, I´d like to think
That I would be stronger than that

{repeat Chorus}

I know what she´s thinking and I know what she´d say
Thta my life and her life are like night and day
And her love is the love that will save him
Brave words but I don´t believe them

{repeat Chorus}

Oh, I would be stronger
I would not wait one minute longer
I would be stronger than that
Take Me As I Am
Written by Bob DiPiero & Karen Staley

Baby, don´t turn out the light
I wanna see you look at me
Whisper only truth tonight
No just promises and empty fantasies

{Chorus}

I don´t need a bed of roses
´Cause roses wither away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart, a gentle hand
Who´ll take me as I am

Baby, I need you to know
Just exactly how I feel
Fiery passions come and go
I´d trade a million pretty words for one touch that is real

{repeat Chorus}
