Longer and Stronger

Longer and stronger, that's how I live

The more I get, the more I've got to give

Fifty years of soul gone by and fifty more to come

You think you've seen something, but Lord I've just begun

Pretty young things how they come and they go

Ain't nothing lasting 'bout no girlie show

But a woman like me can stand the test of time

Day after day, year after year, you know that I'm

Longer and stronger, that's how I live

The more I get, the more I've got to give

Fifty years of soul gone by and fifty more to come

You think you've seen something, but Lord I've just begun

I've seen my hard times, ooh yes I've been busted

I've trusted people who never should have been trusted

But after all those lessons, hard to learn

I've still got my pride and so much soul to burn

Longer and stronger, that's how I live

The more I get, the more I've got to give

Fifty years of soul gone by and fifty more to come

You think you've seen something, but Lord I've just begun

(You think you've seen something)

(You think you've seen something)

Ooh, longer and stronger, that's how I live

The more I get, the more I've got to give

Ooh, oh, I said longer and, longer and, longer and stronger

You know that's how I live

I got to keep on, keep on, keep on, keepin' on

Oh, longer and, longer and stronger
