[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]
GC/G
Boy, oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
Am/GG
Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has gone
GC/G
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
Am/GG
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]
Am/G
Only the strong survive,
AmBmCD
Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
[Verse]
GC/G
Don't go all around with your head hung down
Am/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
GC/G
There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you
Am/G
Oh but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now
G
And say your life is through
[Chorus]
GAm/G
Yes she said: Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
AmBmCD
You've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
