Fly Lyrics

Fly Lyrics- Amy Winehouse’s “Stronger Than Me”

Never let it be said that sultry UK singer Amy Winehouse is guilty of pulling punches in her music. In “Stronger Than Me,” which is this week’s Fly Lyrics, Winehouse tries to get her man to toughen up a bit. I’m quite sure there are many other women that can relate to her frustrations. So check it out, and let me know what you think.

The Lyrics

You should be stronger than me
You been here 7 years longer than me
Don’t you know you supposed to be the man,
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am,

You always wanna talk it through - I don’t care!
I always have to comfort you when I’m there
But that’s what I need you to do - stroke my hair!
Cos’ I’ve forgotten all of young love’s joy,
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy,

You should be stronger than me,
But instead you’re longer than frozen turkey,
Why’d you always put me in control?
All I need is for my man to live up to his role,
Always wanna talk it through- I’m ok,
Always have to comfort you every day,
But that’s what I need you to do - are you gay?

I’ve forgotten all of young love’s joy
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy

He said ‘the respect I made you earn -
Thought you had so many lessons to learn’
I said ‘You don’t know what love is - get a grip!’ -
Sounds as if you’re reading from some other tired script

I’m not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just wanna rip your body over mine
So tell me why you think that’s a crime

I’ve forgotten all of young love’s joy
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy
