[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 a stone but now that's 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 now
[Verse 2]
Before she left you told yourself it can't hurt that much
Now your double over like you took a punch
No she ain't coming back tell me how much can you take of that
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
What's that rule that you live by, a tough guy never cries
How strong are you now, without her around
You can't even keep one little bitty ear from falling down
Tell me how strong, tell me how strong are you now
How strong are you now, oh, what's that rule you live by
You say tough guys never cry how strong are you now
