I got what I wanted
It wasn't what I wanted
I got what I needed
It wasn't what I needed

Just found out
Love makes you strong
Love makes you heavy
Like a stranger in the night
Like a Tyson fight
Love makes you strong
Love makes you funky
Like you don't know where you are
Like a limousine car, ah, yeah

I got what was comin'
I should've been runnin'
F-F-Fifty percent
Just to pay her rent

I just found out
Love steers you wrong
Love costs you plenty
Save your nickels and dimes
'Cause these are desperate times
Love steers you wrong
Love spoils the party
I got something in my eye
I feel like I wanna die
I'd break down and cry
I want my honey
I want my money
If I'm an angel this time
She'll be treatin' me fine

I just found out
Love makes you strong
But it makes you pay for it
Love steers you wrong
Sometimes if you ignore it
Love makes you strong
But it makes you pay for it
Love steers you wrong
Sometimes if you ignore it
Love makes you strong, yeah
Love makes you strong
Love makes you strong
Yeah, playin' with your heart is tearin' you apart
You never seem to be right, you never seem to be wrong
So you've got to be strong
