lyrics

As I recall the first time that I saw you
You had your head held up so high
Now after all the pain you’ve gone through
I still ain’t never see you cry

Oh but strength was always your Weakness, oh-oh
Survival of the strong.
Well, Charlie got that wrong.
Strength was your weakness all along

When all your confidence deserts you
And you feel needy as the rest
It doesn’t mean that you deserve to
Lead a life somehow worth less

A little tremble in your upper lip
Ain’t gonna sink no ship
Come on, let it slip away.

As I recall, the last time that I saw you
You'd barely look me in the eye
You thought I might want to declaw you
As though I'd ever even try

Strength was always your Weakness, oh-oh
Survival of the strong.
Well, Charlie got that wrong.
Strength was your weakness all along
Strength was your weakness all along
