Jerry Butler Only The Strong Survive Lyrics

Only The Strong Survive Lyrics

I see you sittin' there all alone

Crying your eyes out

While
everything's going wrong

You know there's gonna be

A whole lot of
trouble in your life

Listen to me, get up off your knees

'Cause
only the strong survive



Only the strong survive

Only the
strong survive

Hey, you gotta be strong

You gotta hold on

I
said don't give up, no don't



I said don't go around

With
your head looking down

Dont you let'em make you feel like a clown

There's a lot of opportunity

Out there just waiting for you

But
you'll never succeed if you've given up

And say your life is through

Listen this minute what I'm tellin' you



           Only the
strong survive

           Only the strong survive

       I   Hey,
you gotta be strong

           Gotta hold on

           You gotta
be a man, take a stand



Only the strong survive

Only the
strong survive



Weak fall by the wayside

You gotta hold on

You gotta keep on, keep on

Keep on, keep on, keep on gettin' on



'Cause only the strong survive

Only the strong survive

Weak fall by the wayside

You gotta be strong

You gotta hold
on

You gotta keep goin' on



Only the strong survive

Only the strong survive

Weak fall by the wayside

You gotta be a
man

You gotta take a stand



Get up, set your body in
motion

You knnw the strong survive

Wake up and get your
education

So you can keep your family alive

Get away from negative
situations

It can only bring you a lot of frustrations

'Cause only
the strong survive



        Repeat I
