[spoken-] I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it
VERSE
G# C#/G#
Boy, oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
A#m/G# G#
Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has gone
G# C#/G#
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
A#m/G# G#
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees 'cos only the strong survive
G#
That's what she said, only the strong survive
CHORUS
A#m/G#
Only the strong survive,
A#m Cm C# D#
Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
VERSE
G# C#/G#
Don't go all around with your head hung down
A#m/G#
Well I wouldn't let that little girl, no, I wouldn't let her know
G#
That she made me feel like a clown
G# C#/G#
There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you
A#m/G#
Oh but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now
G#
And say your life is through
CHORUS
G# A#m/G#
Yes she said- Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
A#m Cm C# D#
You've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
INTERLUDE

Boy, boy, oh boy
CHORUS (outro)
G# A#m/G#
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
A#m Cm C# D#
Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
G#
'Cos only the strong survive
G# A#m/G#
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
A#m Cm C# D#
You've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
G# C#/G#
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
A#m/G# G#
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
