Only the Strong Survive (Rerecorded)

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
