Skeeter Davis - 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...
