When you say that's it boy

I'm finally beat

You're goin' 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, yeah

(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 okay Hold your head up high

Oh, you gotta be strong, yeah

(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 spinnin' round Hold your head up high, hey, hey, hey

You gotta be strong, all right

(You gotta be strong, 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 lovin' machine Come on and kiss me, honey

Oh, you gotta be strong, hey you gotta be strong

(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
