Moons' gravity?

Call me lazy for not looking this up, but I would be interested in your comments. This question is inspired by Lovelocke’s earlier one about if the moon disappeared. since childhood I have understood that the moon’s gravitational pull effects the tides. But how is that so? Earth’s gravity is far stronger than that of the moon. I mean heck, the astronauts have to weigh themselves down when they are trompping around up there. How can the moon’s gravity have such an effect?
