| [00:02.52] |
I remember my first love affair |
| [00:05.67] |
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong |
| [00:09.66] |
My mama had some great advice |
| [00:11.34] |
So I thought |
| [00:11.91] |
I'd put it into words of this song |
| [00:14.22] |
I can still hear her sayin' |
| [00:15.60] |
Boy, oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone |
| [00:22.35] |
Cryin' your eyes out 'cause the woman that you love is gone |
| [00:30.63] |
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life |
| [00:41.43] |
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees 'cause only the strong survive |
| [00:47.37] |
That's what she said, "Only the strong surviveOnly the strong survive" |
| [00:54.57] |
Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on |
| [00:59.91] |
Don't go all around with your head hung down |
| [01:06.36] |
Well I wouldn't let that little girl |
| [01:10.65] |
No, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown |
| [01:17.64] |
There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you |
| [01:22.86] |
Oh but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now |
| [01:28.83] |
And say that your life is through |
| [01:31.68] |
Then she said, "Only the strong surviveOnly the strong surviveYou've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand" |
| [01:58.35] |
So I'm telling you right now only the strong survive |
| [02:04.17] |
Only the strong survive |
| [02:07.74] |
Hey, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on |
| [02:12.51] |
Don't worry about it, don't you know that things are gonna change |
| [02:17.25] |
Oh, but you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand |
| [02:24.24] |
Don't ever feel that, you can make it baby |
