Only The Strong Survive Lyrics - Elvis Presley

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 

Boy, Oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone 

Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has gone 

Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life 

Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees 'cos only the strong survive 

That's what she said, only the strong survive 

Only the strong survive, 

Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on 

Don't go all around with your head hung down

Well I wouldn't let that little girl 

No, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown 

There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you 

Oh but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now and say that your life is through 

Yes she said: Only the strong survive, only the strong survive, 

You've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive, 

Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on 

'Cos only the strong survive 

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive, 

Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand 

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
