[Verse 1]

When she told you goodbye

You didn't flinch

When she looked back

You didn't even budge an inch

You stood there like stone

But now that she's gone

[Chorus]

How strong are you now

Without her around

You can't even keep one little bitty tear

From falling down

Tell me how strong are you know

[Verse 2]

Before she left you told yourself

It can't hurt that much

Now you're doubled over

Like you took a punch

No, she ain't coming back

Tell me how much can you take of that

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Tell me how strong are you now - yeah

How strong are you now - oh, oh

What's that rule you live by

You say tough guys never cry

But how strong are you now
