I remember my first love affair. Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong. And my momma had some great advice, So, I thought I'd put it in the words of this song. I can still hear her saying: Boy, I see you sitting out there all alone. Crying 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 Ah so listen to me, get up off your knees 'Cause only the strong survive That what she said: Only the strong survive, Only the strong survive Yeah, you gotta be strong You better hold on Don't go around with your head hung down Well, I wouldn't let the little girl know (Wouldn't let her know)that she made me Feel like a clown There's a whole lot of girls (whole lot of girls) Looking for a good man like you But you'll never meet 'em If you've give up now And say your life is through Then she said: Only the strong survive Only the strong survive You gotta be a man, You gotta take a stand So I'm telling you right now: Only the strong survive Only the strong survive You gotta be strong You better hold on Don't worry about it Don't you know that things gonna change Oh, but you gotta be a man You gotta take a stand Don't ever feel that You can't make it, baby |
