Elvis Presley - Only The Strong Survive Lyrics
(words & music by gamble - huff - butler)I remember my first love affairSomehow or another the whole darn thing went wrongMy mamma had some great adviceSo I thought Id put it into words of this songI can still hear her sayin itBoy, oh, I see youre sittin out there all aloneCryin your eyes out cos the woman that you love has goneOh, theres gonna be, theres gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your lifeOh, so listen to me get up off your knees cos only the strong surviveThats what she said, only the strong surviveOnly the strong survive,Oh youve got to be strong, youd better hold onDont go all around with your head hung downWell I wouldnt let that little girlNo, I wouldnt let her know that she made me feel like a clownTheres a whole lot a girls lookin for a good man like youOh but youll never meet em if you give up now and say that your life is throughYes she said: only the strong survive, only the strong survive,Youve got to be a man, youve got to take a standOnly the strong survive, only the strong survive,Oh, youve got to be strong, youd better hold oncos only the strong surviveOnly the strong survive, only the strong survive,Well, youve got to be a man, youve got to take a standOnly the strong survive, only the strong survive
