I always took pride standing on my own two feet
I never leaned on anyone but me
And I'm not braggin' but there's been times
When I've looked the devil in the eye and never blinked
But tonight, yeah tonight

I need something stronger than I've got to offer
Don't know if I've ever felt this weak
If I'm gonna make it without breakin' down on this dead end street
I need somethin' stronger than me

I'm not much for drinking
But if it stops the ache in my heart
I'll try to drown it 'till the morning comes
And I'll try praying

God I'll try anything and everything I can
To keep from giving up
'Cause I know, Lord I know

I need something stronger than I've got to offer
Don't know if I've ever felt this weak
If I'm gonna make it without breakin' down on this dead end street
I need somethin' stronger than me
I need somethin'

Everything in me wants to pick up that telephone
Even though I know it's wrong

I need something stronger than I've got to offer
Don't know if I've ever felt this weak
If I'm gonna make it without breakin' down on this dead end street
I need somethin' stronger than me
Somethin' stronger
I need somethin' stronger than me
