When she told you goodbye  You didn't flinch  When she looked back  You didn't even budge an inch  You stood there like stone  But now that she's gone    [CHORUS]    How strong are you now  Without her around  You can't even keep one little bitty tear  From fallin' down  Tell me how strong are you know    Before she left you told yourself  It can't hurt that much  Now you're doubled over  Like you took a punch  No, she ain't coming back   Tell me how much can you take of that    [REPEAT CHORUS]    Tell me how strong are you now - yeah  How strong are you now - oh, oh  What's that rule you live by  You say tough guys never cry  But how strong are you now
