My Strong Lady

My Strong Lady
I watch her haggle with the antique dealer
They both enjoy it, all three of us do
I think about her going toe to toe
With the people in her everyday life
Executives
Politicians
Contractors
Union bosses
She is remarkably successful
This little bit of a woman
 And she can kick ass like a lady

My thought continues
Executives
Politicians
Contractors
Union bosses
The "rich and powerful" of her world
See the strong side
And she despises them
And this fading middle manager from the sticks
Sees the soft side, the sweet side
 And she does her wonderful best to please me

Why me - I'll never ask her
But she tells about an unpretentious self confidence
And talks about sending Joni Mitchell lyrics in an email
That I responded to with the song title in context
And I called her when the terrorist was running near Boston
To tell her to stay home and lock up, and no one else called
I think those things are real and important to her
But I think she likes to be with me
Because in my arms she can be relaxed
Being held by a man who wants only her love
 And being loved as a woman
