Only The Strong Survive
Jerry Butler
Spotlight On Jerry Butler
(I remember)
I remember my first love affair.
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong.
And my momma had some great advice,
So, I thought I'd put it in the words of this song.
I can still hear her saying:
Boy, 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
Ah so listen to me, get up off your knees
'Cause only the strong survive
That what she said:
Only the strong survive,
Only the strong survive
Yeah, you gotta be strong
You better hold on
don't go around with your head hung down
Well, I wouldn't let the little girl know
(wouldn't let her know)that she made me
feel like a clown
There's a whole lot of girls (whole lot of girls)
Looking for a good man like you
But you'll never meet 'em
if you've give up now
And say your life is through
Then she said:
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
You gotta be a man,
You gotta take a stand
So I'm telling you right now:
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
You gotta be strong
You better hold on
Don't worry about it
Don't you know that things gonna change
Oh, but you gotta be a man
You gotta take a stand
Don't ever feel that
you can't make it, baby
