Little darling belle with such a fragile shell
In the powerful way that love seems to make her
All regret it now
And if she’d only say what’s wrong- she can’t on
You've got to be strong now
And if I come and hold you now
You'll be safe and sound
Make a lonely face
That no one ever sees
You see the things she believes
Since life is bittersweet and
She'd open up to me
And it's the only thing she dreams
You've gotta believe
You've got to be strong now
And if i come and hold you now
You've got to be strong now
If I hold you now
If I hold you now
If I hold you now...
Ooh god if I could change a thing tonight
We won't be lonely
Ooh god if I could change a thing
Why does it have to be this way
You have to be strong now
And if I come and hold you now
You've got to be strong now
If I hold you now
If I hold you now

Video Info:
James Iha's first video/single. Be Strong Now was not a chart topper though. Directed by
Sophie Muller. It took two days to film. The video shows James in a house walking around,
sipping tea, looking out a window, and playing guitar/ Also has a woman walking around
sad til she's sees the stars in the sky. She knocks on the door and they meet. "The
storyline of the video is a double life with this girl Francesca" James said on MTV live.
Other Info:
James says, "I wrote this song about a girl who had very low self-esteem and couldn't
seem to express herself. I imagined what she could trust, like a best friend or a lover."
