Only the Strong Survive

I remember my first love affair (I remember) Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong (I remember) My mama had some great advice (I remember) So I thought I'd put it into words of this song (I remember) I can still hear her sayin' it (I remember) Boy, oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone (boy, oh) Cryin' your eyes out 'cause the woman that you love has gone Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be A whole lot of trouble in your life (whole lotta trouble) Oh, so listen to me, get up off your knees 'Cause only the strong survive That's what she said, only the strong survive Only the strong survive Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd 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 that she made me feel like a clown There's a whole lotta girls (whole lotta girls) Lookin' 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've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand (Boy) (Boy) (Oh,boy) Only the strong survive, only the strong survive Well, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on Only the strong survive Only the strong survive, only the strong survive Well, you've got to be a man (yeah), you've got to take a stand (yeah) 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 - Elvis Presley
