Only The Strong Survive

Only The Strong Survive

(I remember)
(I remember)
(I remember)
(I remember)
(I remember) Now I remember my first love
(I remember) Of course the whole thing went wrong
(I remember) And my mama had some great advice I thought I'd put it into words of this song
(I remember) Because I can still hear her saying

She said, boy (boy, boy), oh I see you sitting out there all alone
Yeah just crying your eyes out into the cold great dawn
Now there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life (whole lot of trouble)
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
Yeah, you've gotta be strong (strong), you've go to hold on (hold on)
Only the strong survive (don't go)

Now don't go around with your head hanging down
I wouldn't let the girl know, she made you feel like a clown, oh no
Now there's a whole lotta girls (whole lotta girls) just looking for a good man like you
You ain't never gonna meet 'em if you give up now and say your whole life is through

Because only the strong survive, only the strong survive
Yeah, you gotta be a man (a man), you gotta take a stand (oh yeah)
Only the strong survive (ooh-hoo)
I'm telling you right now, only the strong survive (the strong survive)

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
Yeah, you've go to hold on (hold on), you've gotta be strong (strong)
'Cause only the strong survive (only the strong survive)
And if there was gonna be a better day, you're gonna make it (yeah)
You gotta take that stand (yeah)
'Cause only the strong survive, only the strong survive
Yeah, you've gotta be strong, you've go to hold on
'Cause only the strong survive
Oh better times are coming
