[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

GBoy, oh, I see you're C/Gsittin' out there all alone

Am/GCryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you Glove has gone

 Oh, there's gonna Gbe, there's gonna be a whole lot of C/Gtrouble in your life

 Oh, so Am/Glisten to me get up off your knees 'cos Gonly the strong survive

 That's what she sGaid, only the strong survive

 Only the Am/Gstrong survive,

 Oh you've Amgot to be Bmstrong, you'd Cbetter hold Don

 Don't Ggo all around with your C/Ghead hung down

 Well Am/GI wouldn't let that little girl, no, I wouldn't let her know

 That she made me Gfeel like a clown

 There's a Gwhole lot a girls lookin' for a C/Ggood man like you

 Oh but Am/Gyou'll never meet 'em if you give up now

 And say your Glife is through

 Yes she said: Only the Gstrong survive, only the Am/Gstrong survive,

 You've Amgot to be a Bmman, you've Cgot to take a Dstand

 | G | % | C/G | % | Am/G | % | G | % |

Boy, boy, oh boy

 Only the Gstrong survive, only the Am/Gstrong survive,

 Oh you've Amgot to be Bmstrong, you'd Cbetter hold Don

 'Cos Gonly the strong survive

 Only the Gstrong survive, only the Am/Gstrong survive,

 You've Amgot to be a Bmman, you've Cgot to take a Dstand

 Only the Gstrong survive, only the C/Gstrong survive

 Only the Am/Gstrong survive, only the Gstrong survive
