Informação:

Only the Strong Survive (Mercury 72898) foi um êxito Nº 1 para Jerry Butler no início de 1969. Chegou ao 4º lugar na tabela Hot 100. A canção foi escrita por Butler, Kenny Gamble e Leon Huff.

Elvis gravou Only the Strong Survive no American Sound Studios de Memphis em 20 de Fevereiro de 1969, apenas poucas semanas depois de Butler ter lançado a versão original.

Letra:
 

I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mama had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin'

Boy, oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
Cryin' your eyes out 'cause the woman that you love is gone
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
Oh, so listen to me, get up off your knees 'cause only the strong survive
That's what she said, only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
Don't go all around with your head hung down
Well, I wouldn't let that little girl
No, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown
There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you
Oh, but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now and say your life is through
And she said, only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
You've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
'Cause only the strong survive
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
'Cause only the strong survive, only the strong survive

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive...
