The musings of a crazy lady from Hamilton, Ohio. "Madwoman in the attic" is a reference to the book "Jane Eyre," and our world where we try to silence and "lock away" the mentally ill.

Stronger Woman
Stronger Woman (Jewel)
[Verse 1]
I guess you could say I'm one of those girls
Who's always been with one of those guys
You know the type
Like right now, he sleeps while I write
But it's better than crying
Warn out from trying
From loving a man who always makes it clear
I am not welcome here
Just till he's horny or hungry or needs something clean
You know what I mean
But not tonight
Cause come the morning light, oh
[Chorus]
I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me
Even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again
Never, no
Cause there's a stronger woman
A stronger woman in me
[Verse 2]
Light bulbs buzz, I get up
Head to my drawer
Wish there was more
I could say
Another fairy tale fades to grey
I've lived on hope
Like a child
Walking that mile
Faking that smile
All the while
Wishing my heart had wings
Well from now on I'm gonna be
The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be, oh
[Chorus]
I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me
Even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again
Never, no
Cause there's a stronger woman
A stronger woman
[Bridge]
This is me packing up my bags
This is me headed for the door
This is me, the best you ever had
[Chorus]
I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
The a stronger woman in me
Gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again, no, no
Cause there's a stronger woman, stronger woman
There's a stronger woman, stronger woman in me
Stronger woman in me
[Verse 1]
I guess you could say I'm one of those girls
Who's always been with one of those guys
You know the type
Like right now, he sleeps while I write
But it's better than crying

But not tonight
Cause come the morning light, oh
[Chorus]
I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me
Even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again

There's a stronger woman, stronger woman in me

To Her
Dairy Queen by the Indigo Girls
I heard that you were drunk and mean down at Dairy queen There's just enough of you in me For me to have this sympathy And take it in stride I know I had mine And you were as kind I am told Ain't it funny how we lose one day And a lifetime slips away I'm looking back on us that way Something I never thought I'd say I take it in stride I know I had mine It was good for a time I am told It was good for a time I am told The love you gave was not for free But the price was truly fair I never felt so glad to be So well spent and so beyond repair I take it in stride At least you were mine If not for all time Enough to hold Or at least, enough for me to hold you Now take good care that you are true You said you found it hard to do And find that bit of faith that sets you free From having everything to prove And you take it in stride And know you've got mine And it's good for a lifetime or more Hey I love you more and more Oh I love you more and more yeah
