Strength

He can play me a tune.
He can take me to
Pensacola in the middle of June;
He can sing at the top of his lungs
til every song in the world has been sung

I'm my own pillar
hold myself up;
a fortress that can
never be knocked down.

He can be tender,
but he's got to have a backbone;
He can be slender
but I need strong arms

Strength
He's got to have more than me--
strength.
I've got plenty.
Strength,
He can't only match me
but must exceed in my
strength.

I've got my emotions in check
and so must he.
I haven't got the patience for self-pity
and "Woe is me".
He can be a bit soft
but needs to have the hard edge;
write for me but still fight for me.

Strength
He's got to have more than me--
strength.
I've got plenty.
Strength,
He can't only match me
but must exceed in my
strength.
