Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Only the strong survive

Only the strong survive

Only the wrong relive their lives

We've been here a thousand times

[Verse 2]

Wish I could go back and find

Letters I wrote you in my mind

Perhaps I could unknot us from this awful bind

[Verse 3]

Most I have forgot are all very fine

Love is a sickness cured by time

Love is a sickness cured by time

Bruises all end up benign

Love is a sickness cured by time

[Verse 4]

I hope that you can change my mind

Had to leave this crying all behind

I hope that you don't think that I'm unkind

So somebody told me, only and only

Only the strong will survive

[Verse 5]

Only the strong survive

And I won't write a woman with a man on my mind

Hope that didn't sound too unkind

[Verse 6]

Just struggling to figure out how only, only

Only, only

Only the strong can survive

Hope that you can change my mind

I had to leave this crying all behind

I hope that you don't think that I'm unkind

It's just somebody told me only and only

Only the strong can survive
