Karaoké Only the Strong Survive Jerry Butler

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 into words of this song

I can still hear her saying it boy oh I see you're sitting out there all alone

Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has gone

Oh there's gonna be there's gonna be

A whole lot of trouble in your life

Ah so listen to me get up off of your knees 'cos only the strong survive

That's what she said only the strong survive only the strong survive

Well you've got to be strong you'd better hold on

Don't go all around with your head hung down

I wouldn't let that little girl no I wouldn't let her know

That she made me feel like a clown

There's a whole lot a girl lookin' for a good man like you

Oh but you'll never meet them if you give up now and say your life is through

Then she said it only the strong survive only the strong survive

Well you've got to be a man you've got to take a stand yeah

So I'm telling you right now only the strong survive only the strong survive

Hey you've got to be strong you'd better hold on

Don't worry 'bout it don't you know that things are gonna change

Ah but you've got to be a man you've got to take a stand

Don't ever feel like you can make it baby

Oh ain't no woman perfect you gotta make it
