Text:
When you say that’s it boy
I’m finally beat
You’re going ninety miles an hour
Down a dead end street
You don’t want to fight no more
You think that you can’t win
Come on boy take a real deep breath
Jump right in and
Hold your head up high
Oh, you gotta be strong
(You gotta be strong)
Come on and sing, sing, sing
There ain’t nothing like a song
Now they may take away your job
Take your fancy car
They may repossess your clothes
Take that fine guitar
They may take everything you own
Well that’s just for today
As long as you’ve got a song in your heart
Tomorrow’s gonna be O.K
Hold your head up high
Oh you gotta be strong
(You gotta be strong)
Come on and sing, sing, sing
There ain’t nothing like a song
All right
There ain’t nothing gonna stop you
Once you’ve set your mind
The only people gonna knock you
Are jealous of what they find
Just keep a smile right on your face
Don’t let ’em get you down
When you wake up tomorrow
The world is spinning round
Hold your head up high, hey, hey
You gotta be strong, all right
(You gotta be strong)
Come on and sing, sing, sing
There ain’t nothing like a song
Well, lovin’s all that I can give you
Baby that’s enough
You ain’t easy to satisfy
Baby I ain’t that tough
Now hey little girl you’re about the wildest
Thing I’ve ever seen
When I’m with you baby I’m a loving machine
Come on and kiss me honey
Hey, you gotta be strong
(You gotta be strong)
Come on and sing, sing
There ain’t nothing like a song
Come on and sing (sing), sing (sing)
Sing (sing), sing
There ain’t nothing like a song
