| Lyrics: | I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My
mamma had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still
hear her sayin' it
Boy, Oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
Cryin' your
eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has 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 'cos only the strong
survive
That's what she said, only the strong survive
Only the strong
survive,
Oh 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
Yes
she said: Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
You've got to be a man, you've got
to take a stand
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to
be strong, you'd better hold on
'Cos only the strong survive
Only the strong survive, only
the strong survive,
Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the
strong survive, only the strong survive |
