If I were a tower of strength, I'd walk away

I'd look in your eyes and here's what I'd say

"I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"

And I'd walk out that door



You'd be down on your knees

You'd be calling to me-ee

But a tower of a-strength is a-something I'll never be



If I were a tower of strength, I'd watch you cry

I'd laugh at your tears and tell you goodbye

"I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"

And I'd walk out that door



You'd be down on your knees

You'd be calling to me-ee

But a tower of a-strength is a-something I'll never be



"I don't want you, I don't a-need you, I don't love you any more"

And I'd walk out that door



You'd be down on your knees, ahh-huh

You'd be calling to me-ee-ee

But a tower of a-strength is a-something I'll never be
