Strong for You

This is an old public domain song that has been interpreted many times.

Below are lyrics for a woman to sing it to a man.

I never had a love tale poured in my ear,
Never met a guy that trusts my idea.
I guess the reason of it is
that I’m not up in the sweetheart business.
I never met a guy till I met you, dear,
That I ever gave a nick for too dear.
That means I’m strong for you,
Strong as I can be.
Honestly I’m strong for you.
Are you strong for me.
Honest, handsome mister, I am strong for you.
When you go away I’m gonna long for you.
Won’t you please encourage me with just a word or two.
Doooooo—
You needn’t say you love me for I’m pretty sure you don’t.
But tell me that you love me and there’s nothing that I won’t be glad to do.
That’s honestly and true.
I’ll go along for you.
I’ll do it long for you.
Because I’m awfully strong for you.

Every time you look, your eyes they start, dear,
Telegraphing love tales to my heart dear.
I guess the reason of it is
That you’re way up in the ‘make eyes’ business.
Every time you speak I feel like swooning,
Sort of like I'm tuning you in crooning.
Creampuff, sing me a song,
Song of sympathy.
Angelfood, my love is strong.
Are you strong for me?
Honest, handsome mister, I am strong for you.
When you go away,
I’m gonna long for you.
Won’t you please encourage me with just a word or two?
Doooooo—
You needn’t say you love me for I’m pretty sure you don’t.
But tell me that you love me and there’s nothing that I won’t be glad to do.
That’s honestly and true.
I’ll go along for you.
I’ll do it long for you.
Because I’m awfully strong for you.
