Intro / Stronger Than Me
°¬Ã×?»³¶÷ºÀ˹Amy Winehouse Lyrics

You should be stronger than me
You should be more emotionally stable and reliable than I am in our relationship.

You been here 7 years longer than me
You have more experience in this relationship because you've been in it longer than I have.

Don't you know you supposed to be the man,
As a man, you are expected to be more dominant and assertive in our relationship.

Not pal in comparison to who you think I am,
You shouldn't try to compete with me or feel inferior because of my personality or accomplishments.

You always wanna talk it through - I don't care!
I am not interested in discussing and analyzing our problems all the time like you are.

I always have to comfort you when I'm there
I feel responsible for making you feel better when you're upset or emotional.

But that's what I need you to do - stroke my hair!
When I'm upset or feeling vulnerable, I want you to comfort me in a physical and affectionate way.

'cause' I've forgotten all of young love's joy,
I feel like our relationship has lost the excitement and passion it used to have when we were younger.

Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy,
I feel like the more assertive and masculine one in our relationship, while you seem more passive and feminine.

But instead you're longer than frozen turkey,
You have become emotionally distant and unresponsive to me, like a frozen turkey that's been in the freezer for too long.

Why'd you always put me in control?
You always let me make the decisions in our relationship, which makes me feel like I have too much power over you.

All I need is for my man to live up to his role,
All I want is for you to fulfill the expectations I have of you as my partner and a man.

I'm ok,
I'm fine and don't need your constant emotional support right now.

But that's what I need you to do - are you gay?
However, I still want you to provide emotional comfort and affection to me, and questioning your sexuality makes it seem like you think that is a 'gay' thing to do.

He said 'the respect I made you earn -
Your partner said that you had to earn their respect in the relationship.

Thought you had so many lessons to learn'
They believed that you needed to learn and grow more in the relationship to earn their complete respect.

I said 'You don't know what love is - get a grip!' -
You responded by telling them that they don't truly understand love and should have a better perspective on the matter.

Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script
Their responses and attitude towards the relationship seem robotic and unoriginal, as if they aren't genuinely invested in it.

I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
You're not interested in meeting your partner's family.

I just wanna rip your body over mine
You want to be physically intimate with your partner in a passionate and intense way.

So tell me why you think that's a crime
You don't understand why your partner might have a problem with your desire to be physically intimate with them.
