Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Longer and stronger, that's how I live
The more I get the more I got to give
Fifty years of soul gone by and fifty more to come
You think you've seen something but, Lord, I've just begun
[Verse 2]
Pretty young things, how they come and they go
Ain't nothing lastin' 'bout no girl is sure
But a woman like me can stand the test of time
Day after day, year after year, you know that I
[Verse 3]
Longer and stronger, that's how I live
The more I get the more I got to give
(The more I got to give)
Now fifty years of soul gone by and fifty more to come
You think you've seen something but, Lord, I've just begun
[Verse 4]
I've seen my hard times, ooh, yes, I been busted
I trusted people who never should've been trusted
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
But after all those lessons hard to learn
I still got my pride and so much soul to burn
[Verse 5]
Longer and stronger, that's how I live
The more I get the more I got to give
(The more I got to give)
Fifty years of soul gone by and fifty more to come
You think you've seen something but, Lord, I've just begun
Oh, yes, I have
[Verse 6]
(You think you've seen something)
(You think you've seen something)
[Verse 7]
Ooh, longer and stronger, that's how I live
(Longer and stronger)
The more I get, yeah, the more I got to give
(Longer and stronger, longer and stronger)
(Longer and stronger, longer and stronger)
Ooh, whoa, whoa
(Longer and stronger, longer and stronger)
I said longer and longer and longer and stronger
(Longer and stronger, longer and stronger)
You know that's how I live, I got to keep on, keep on
(Longer and stronger, longer and stronger)
You got to keep on keepin' on
(Longer and stronger, longer and stronger)
Oh, longer and stronger
