Only the Strong Survive (Single Version)
I see you sittin' there all alone
Cryin' your eyes out
While everything's going wrong
You know there's gonna be
A whole lotta 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 lookin' down
Don't 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 when I'm tellin' you
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Hey, you gotta be strong
Gotta hold on
You gotta be a man, take a stand, oh
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 a man
You gotta take a stand
Get up, set your body in motion
You know the strong survives
Wake up and get your education
So you can keep your family alive
Get away from negative situations
It will only bring you, bring you a lot of frustrations
But only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Weak fall by the wayside
Said, "You gotta be strong
You gotta hold on, you gotta keep going on"
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Weak fall by the wayside
You gotta hold on
You gotta keep going strong
You gotta be a man, you gotta take a stand
(Only the strong survive)
Cryin' your eyes out
While everything's going wrong
You know there's gonna be
A whole lotta 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 lookin' down
Don't 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 when I'm tellin' you
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Hey, you gotta be strong
Gotta hold on
You gotta be a man, take a stand, oh
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 a man
You gotta take a stand
Get up, set your body in motion
You know the strong survives
Wake up and get your education
So you can keep your family alive
Get away from negative situations
It will only bring you, bring you a lot of frustrations
But only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Weak fall by the wayside
Said, "You gotta be strong
You gotta hold on, you gotta keep going on"
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Weak fall by the wayside
You gotta hold on
You gotta keep going strong
You gotta be a man, you gotta take a stand
(Only the strong survive)
