Skeeter Davis - Only The Strong Survive Lyrics


Skeeter Davis Lyrics

Only The Strong Survive Lyrics
I remember my first love affair

Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong

And my mamma had some great advice so I thought I'd put it into words of this song

I can still hear her sayin' girl oh I see you're sittin' out there all alone

Cryin' your eyes out cause the man that you love has gone

There's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life

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

So you've gotta be strong you'd better hold on

Don't go don't go around with your head hung down

Well I wouldn't let the little boy know

I wouldn't let him know that he made me feel like a clown

There's a whole lotta men looking for a good girl like you

But you know you'll never meet 'em if you give up now and say your life is through

And then she said only the strong survive only the strong survive

If you wanna get a man you've got to take a stand only the strong survive

(Girl you'd better hold on life girl only the strong survive)

Only the strong survive...
