I remember my first love affairSomehow or another the whole darn thing went wrongMy mamma had some great adviceSo I thought I'd put it into words of this songI can still hear her sayin' itBoy, Oh, I see you're sittin' out there all aloneCryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has goneOh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your lifeOh, so listen to me get up off your knees 'cos only the strong surviveThat's what she said, only the strong surviveOnly the strong survive,Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold onDon't go all around with your head hung downWell I wouldn't let that little girlNo, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clownThere's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good manlike youOh but you'll 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,You've got to be a man, you've got to take a standOnly the strong survive, only the strong survive,Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on'Cos only the strong surviveOnly the strong survive, only the strong survive,Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take astandOnly the strong survive, only the strong survive
