Story Behind The Song
the vocalist singing in the demo (Angela Dunson), asked me to write a song that makes a statement to all those guys out there treating their girlfriends like "friends", and to let the woman not be sitting at home sad and "waiting on them"..
Song Description
first chorus starts with staring at the little black dress hanging up, ready to be going out and worn for a night out. The girl is ready to go out and not sit home and wait on her "guy" any longer.
chorus" bold statement "don't even think your gonna break my heart, don't even think your gonna make me sad" cause uh-uh, uh,uhh I'm stronger than that!! She hates to break the news, but she's STRONGER THAN THAT..
she proceeds to say she is tired of being second choice behind everything, and she then puts her little black dress on, and goes out, to repeat her statement that she is over him and she's strong and refuses to be heartbroken.

Lyrics
I?M STRONGER THAN THAT
Little black dress
On the hanger tonight
A constant reminder
That the timing is right
Too many times
You?ve taken advantage of me
You said you?d change,
But it?s the same ole? thing?
CHORUS
Don?t even think
Your gonna break my heart
Don?t even think
Your gonna make me sad
Uh-uh, uh-uh, .
I?M STRONGER THAN THAT
I hate to break the news but,
I?M STRONGER THAN THAT
Oh, yeah, I?m stronger than that
Yeah, yeah,..
I?m tired of playing games, boy
I?m not your old hat
You can?t toss me
In the corner
And forget me like that
I?m tired of sitting home
On Saturday night
Waiting for your call
Just to end in a fight..
CHORUS
So, don?t even think
Your gonna break my heart
Don?t even think
Your gonna make me sad
Uh-uh, uh-uh,
I?M STRONGER THAN THAT
I hate to break the news but
I?M STRONGER THAN THAT
Oh, yeah, I?m stronger than that
Yeah, yeah,
So, my little black dress
And I, are going out tonight
No more excuses
I?m doing what?s right
A little perfume
And a whole lot of class
don?t dial my number
you can just kiss my
uh-uh, uh-uh
I?M STRONGER THAN THAT
I hate to break the news but
I?M STRONGER THAN THAT
Don?t even think
Your gonna break my heart
Don?t even think
Your gonna make me sad
Uh-uh, uh-uh,
I?M STRONGER THAN THAT
I?M STRONGER THAN THAT
Ohhh, yeahhh,
