The Strong One

She laughs when she's about to cry
She does what she has to,
no matter the task.
To the sick baby she coos.

She doesn't get much pay
but thanks God it's enough
to pay the bills
She's the one who's tough.

Tell me who the stong one is
She never lets anyone down
She has a heart that only gives
I'm the greedy one in my town.
