I remember my first love affair
|
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
|
And my mamma had some great advice so I thought I'd put it into words of this song
|
I can still hear her sayin' girl oh I see you're sittin' out there all alone
|
Cryin' your eyes out cause the man that you love has gone
|
There's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
|
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
|
So you've gotta be strong you'd better hold on
|
Don't go don't go around with your head hung down
|
Well I wouldn't let the little boy know
|
I wouldn't let him know that he made me feel like a clown
|
There's a whole lotta men looking for a good girl like you
|
But you know you'll never meet 'em if you give up now and say your life is through
|
And then she said only the strong survive only the strong survive
|
If you wanna get a man you've got to take a stand only the strong survive
|
(Girl you'd better hold on life girl only the strong survive)
|
Only the strong survive...
