Only the Strong Survive

[00:02.04] I remember my first love affair
[00:04.74] Somehow or another, the whole darn thing went wrong
[00:08.21] My mamma had some great advice
[00:10.38] So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
[00:14.24] I can still hear her sayin' it
[00:16.79] "Boy, oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
[00:24.54] Cryin' your eyes out 'cause the woman that you love has gone
[00:31.28] Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be
[00:35.11] A whole lot of trouble in your life
[00:39.47] Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees
[00:43.65] 'Cause only the strong survive"
[00:46.77] That's what she said, "Only the strong survive
[00:50.42] Only the strong survive
[00:54.55] Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
[00:58.43] Don't go all around with your head hung down"
[01:06.43] Well, I wouldn't let that little girl
[01:08.14] No, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown
[01:13.80] There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you
[01:21.50] Oh, but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now
[01:25.31] And say your life is through
[01:28.33] And she said, "Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
[01:36.33] Oh, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand"
[01:44.70] Boy
[01:48.48] Boy
[01:51.27] Oh, boy
[01:55.25] Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
[02:02.61] Well, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
[02:06.64] 'Cause only the strong survive
[02:09.44] Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
[02:17.16] Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
[02:21.20] 'Cause only the strong survive
[02:23.88] Only the strong survive
[02:27.60] Only the strong survive
[02:31.20] Only the strong survive
[02:34.76] Only the strong survive
[02:38.44] Only the strong survive
[02:41.29]
