I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
And my mama had some great advice
So I thought I′d put it in the words of this song
I can still hear her sayin'
Boy, oh I see you sitting out there all alone
Crying your eyes out
I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
And my mama had some great advice
So I thought I′d put it in the words of this song
I can still hear her sayin'
I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
And my mama had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it in the words of this song
I can still hear her sayin′
Boy, oh I see you sitting out there all alone
Crying your eyes out
′Cause the woman that you love is 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 of your knees
'Cause only the strong survive
That′s what she said, only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Oh, you gotta be strong
You 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
She made me feel like a clown
There's a whole lot of girls
Looking for a good man like you
Oh but you′ll never meet ′em if you give up now
And say your life is through
And she said, only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Oh, you gotta be a man, you gotta take a stand
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Well you gotta be strong
You better hold on, only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Well you gotta be a man, you gotta take a stand
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
