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
