Sheryl Crow - Strong Enough Lyrics






God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man, my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave, don't leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man, my man?

Are you strong enough to be my man?
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Are you strong? My man.

When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Would you be man enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

Sheryl Crow Strong Enough Comments
  1. M.... N....

    This song is equal to a punch in the gut 💔

  2. e.... b....

    I was involved with a musician who moved back to Scotland for the best of reasons; his mum needed some support. And he's probably still around but I got caught up in this brilliant song, as one does, for a while, because although it is universal, like all great music, it's personal too. Don't want to lose this connection; wonderful human being. I commented about the disproportionate number of men who completely missed the brave vulnerability of this song and heard it as some kind of gauntlet thrown down -- so far from the essential truth of this music.

  3. e.... b....

    There's a grey area where this isn't pop music this is music and it can change your life. I love this song.

  4. E.... Y....

    Te busqué por muchos años y te encontré al fin :))

  5. M.... M....

    Never understood how the chorus worked with the song. Shes talking about being a strong independent women but then the chorus talks how how shell believe him no matter what and begging him to never leave. Beautiful song but confusing!

  6. B.... D....

    Te amo, my heart....always and forever.

  7. D.... H....

    Whoever’s reading this, I love you

  8. M.... P....

    This song reminds me of my ex boyfriend.. Its funny that after all these years, I still carry a torch for him.. ❤❤

    M.... P....

    I always liked this song and loved the duet with Stevie Nicks and was going through the comments this afternoon (goofing off is necessary sometimes) and didn't realize how split by gender the comments were; so many men saw the song as a challenge, which is not what it is about at all, rather an expression of vulnerability brilliantly expressed.
    I was touched by your memories of your ex. It's the birthday today of my ex husband who died at age 66 of an unexpected heart attack, same age as my mum and Tom Petty. My guy did watch me punching the air and making up the rules as I went and he LOVED my dog and I was often pissed off with him but 20/20 hindsight I was so lucky to have him in my life. Best wishes my friend!

  9. E.... ....

    This is the song I listen to when I feel most weak, insecure and emotionally unstable. It's like the song empathizes with my weakness, which helps me feel better.

    E.... ....

    Esabelle, I hear you. My feeling about this brilliant song, personally, is that in letting ourselves show our hurt and vulnerability, we gain strength and loved your comment.

    E.... ....

    @evelyn baron I completely agree. "Vulnerable" is the perfect word to describe this song. It does such an incredible job of capturing the fear of others leaving when all the cards are on the table.

  10. S.... G....

    Hi Sheryl, I'm Strong Enough... Love Steve G.

  11. R.... ....

    Oh shit...thats deep

  12. c.... ....

    This song always reminded me of what could be Landslide Part 2

  13. C.... S....

    God, I feel like hell tonight
    Tears of rage I cannot fight
    I'd be the last to help you understand
    Are you strong enough to be my man, my man?


    Nothing's true and nothing's right
    So let me be alone tonight
    Cause you can't change the way I am
    Are you strong enough to be my man?


    Lie to me
    I promise I'll believe
    Lie to me
    But please don't leave, don't leave


    I have a face I cannot show
    I make the rules up as I go
    Just try and love me if you can
    Are you strong enough to be my man, my man?


    Are you strong enough to be my man?
    Are you strong enough to be my man?
    Are you strong? My man.


    When I've shown you that I just don't care
    When I'm throwing punches in the air
    When I'm broken down and I can't stand
    Would you be man enough to be my man?


    Lie to me
    I promise I'll believe
    Lie to me
    But please don't leave

  14. C.... S....

    Still great listening to Sheryl. Wish she could find one "strong enough to be her man." Has it happened yet? Why do all these great women entertainers and singer/songwriters end up alone? Even adopting kids alone. Shouldn't have to be this way.

  15. D.... H....

    Never forget who wrote this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUQedDNrV9Q

  16. K.... ....

    Man In my late 30’s now but I’ve Always secretly liked this song

  17. L.... B....

    I am so happy to be in sunny Florida & now that me transmission was recently remanufactured at a local shop Alltech Transmissions, my new friends and I are driving down to the keys. We got all our girl tunes. Going to hard rock casino.

  18. R.... K....

    My favorit singer

  19. B.... E....

    Best song she's ever written. One of the best, period.

  20. R.... P....

    She is a,gooner

  21. t.... ....

    Lie to me, I promise, I'll believe.

  22. A.... C....

    Middle School Dance 7th grade. I asked Katie to dance and she said yes.... brings my heart back

  33. R.... G....

    If.you.strong enough to be my Woman.

  34. A.... T....

    Who's listening to this while they on they period in 2019? 🖕 #bitch

  35. M.... L....

    Nothing beats this woman named Sheryl except songs that do not copy Blake Shelton, Garth Brooks, or country singers rather than just Luke Bryan! None of those songs sound like 2000's tunes, almost more like late 90's, but a rip-off to Norah Jones!

  36. G.... G....

    I'd be your man, if I was a man.

  37. a.... s....

    But please don't leave.

  38. a.... s....

    Shes pretty and talented. I hope she has love.

    Amanda silvlis

  47. M.... T....

    Cool song!

  48. J.... W....

    Sheryl Crow is what Bob Dylan would sound like if he were a woman.

  49. A.... B....

    Sheryl we need you ,my hero tori amos and many others to help mahe america better during and after trump

  50. C.... D....

    Whatever happened to the original video that went with this song? I thought it was incredibly effective. Simple stark, personal B&W of Sheryl all alone on a wooden chair in the middle of an empty room.

  51. s.... w....

    ShoutOut to the cats growing up in the 90’s 👍😉

  52. M.... W....

    My dad was playing in a band and my mom was singing. This was the first song they had heard together. Every time I listen to this it makes me cry.

  53. P.... ....

    Love it! Resonates with me tonight.. xx

  54. J.... b....

    My friend's mom used to listen to this while grading papers, i was a metal head at the time. Don't listen to much metal anymore, still listening to this though.

  55. M.... M....

    The sad and lonely things we will deal with due to childhood trauma! Love her for this song...

  64. J.... M....

    Dixie chicks version is much better

  65. L.... S....

    i think a lot of us have heard these words at some point in our lives, sometimes we don't want the baggage and leave, sometimes we stay and take advantage of a woman at her most vulnerable point in life. wanna know why a lot of women are called bitches? cause very few men held on, held her, and and gave her any reason to be anything but.

  66. J.... C....

    To my friend who has been with me through highs and lows.

  67. R.... A....

    Through a very long "non relationship " I could not ever find the perfect song until this one . Thank you love your music

  75. J.... B....

    I tried to be your man. But I failed. Yet you let Lance Armstrong be your man. Yet I tried again, but you said Texas nothing to do with this. I remember how beautiful you were with Eric Clapton and Mick Jagger.

    J.... B....

    James Brush your a nut lol

  76. I.... ....

    Love love love the ‘90s!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    I.... ....

    Year 2019 and still listening!! ❤️👍

  77. M.... J....

    It's a song about trying to love a woman with borderline personality disorder. I was married to such a woman and can really relate

    M.... J....

    No, we don't always need to have borderline: We are just so fkn emotional when pms hits in! 👧💧💢 🤦💗🤭

  78. M.... M....

    Thanks classic Radio stations still exist in Sri Lanka, we always go way back to nostalgia. Thnks to Internet and youtube, we still can come back to places where our soul resonates in peace and love. To good old memories

  79. M.... M....

    2019....❤

  80. B.... ....

    I remember the song from my childhood, it makes me happy and sad at the same time. Today I'm here from re watching The Wire. This plays in the background of S03E07 "Backburners."

  81. W.... 0....

    Clive Palmer IS the greatest lying politician ever & he should get an award recognizing THIS!

  82. c.... r....

    I need a real man I'm so lonely

  83. R.... H....

    There is no such thing as a man who is "strong enough". No perfect man exists. That is why she asks the man she loves to "lie to me" and tell her he is strong enough anyway, because she loves him. Beautiful song Sheryl. Brings me back to eleventh grade, this was so cutting edge back the,n and still is to me.

  84. E.... R....

    Beautiful , timeless

  85. P.... C....

    1994 or so,listening to this with somebody...had a feeling he wouldn't be strong enough...Gut feeling was right...

  86. C.... B....

    So beautiful

  87. V.... R....

    Love this song!!

  88. B.... Y....

    thanx Vladimir... I appreciate that. NICE. :-) AND you're a very handsome guy Vladimir. :-)

  89. B.... E....

    Good ass fucking song!❤😊

  90. J.... B....

    So how many times do I need state I am strong enough to be Sheryl Crow man in Key West!

  91. J.... B....

    90s music. What a great time to be alive

  92. N.... W....

    I almost didn't play this song because she knows a guy who plays golf with POTUS ,
    but I'm happy I decided to go

  93. r.... y....

    This song is so me lol...

  94. M.... ....

    I can't believe I was in HIGH SCHOOL when this song came out. I hate getting old.

  95. B.... H....

    most depression women here
