Only the Strong Survive |
| I remember my first love affair |
| Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong |
| My mama had some great advice |
| So I thought I’d put it into words of this song |
| I can still hear her sayin' |
| Boy, oh, I see you’re sittin' out there all alone |
| Cryin' your eyes out 'cause the woman that you love is gone |
| Oh, there’s gonna be, there’s gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life |
| Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees |
| 'Cause only the strong survive |
| That’s what she said |
| «Only the strong survive |
| Only the strong survive» |
| Hey, you’ve got to be strong, you’d better hold on |
| Don’t go all around with your head hung down |
| Well I wouldn’t let that little girl |
| No, I wouldn’t let her know that she made me feel like a clown |
| There’s a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you |
| Oh but you’ll never meet 'em if you give up now |
| And say that your life is through |
| Then she said: |
| «Only the strong survive |
| Only the strong survive |
| You’ve got to be a man, you’ve got to take a stand» |
| So I’m telling you right now only the strong survive |
| Only the strong survive |
| Hey, you’ve got to be strong, you’d better hold on |
| Don’t worry about it, don’t you know that things are gonna change |
| Oh, but you’ve got to be a man, you’ve got to take a stand |
| Don’t ever feel that, you can make it baby |
