A Weakness
(For Strong Women)

Delicate and dainty
Are what most men go for
But a Mrs.* with some moxie
That’s what I adore

If you’re looking for a housewife
You’re welcome to the floor
The ones you’re going after
Are the ones I ignore

‘Cuz I got a weakness for strong women
A soft spot for tough love
Yeah, a soft kiss from a sharp tongue
Is what I’m dreaming of

All the sweeter if she’s salty
That’s my cup of tea
A weakness for strong women
Might be the death of me

Some men may be mystified
By what I choose for mine
But I just keep them in the dark
Girls do it all the time

‘Cuz measurements and mind games
Have never been my thing
But gimmie a gal with gutsiness
And this ol’ heart will sing

‘Cuz I got a weakness for strong women
A soft spot for tough love
Yeah, a soft kiss from a sharp tongue
Is what I’m dreaming of

All the sweeter if she’s salty
That’s my cup of tea
A weakness for strong women
Might be the death of me

So what if fortitude ain’t feminine?
It don’t bother me
If you’ve got more than “half a mind”
Let’s make “us two” a “we”

‘Cuz I got a weakness for strong women
A soft spot for tough love
Yeah, a soft kiss from a sharp tongue
Is what I’m dreaming of

All the sweeter if she’s salty
That’s my cup of tea
A weakness for strong women
Might be the death of me

All the better if she’s bitter
Independent? Better be!

‘Cuz a weakness for strong women,
Yeah, a weakness for strong women
Oh, a weakness for strong women

Will be the death of me

*“misses”
