I'm Gonna Be Strong:Gene Pitney
#2 UK, #3 Canada, #9 in USA in 1964.
#1.
I can see, you're slipping away from me.
And you're so afraid, I'll plead with you to stay.
But I'm gonna be strong, and let you go your way.
#2.
Our love is gone..there's no sense in holding on.
Cause your pity now, would be to much to bear.
So, I'm gonna be strong, and pretend I don't care.
CHORUS:
I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can.
Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along,
and take it like a man.
#3.
When you say it's the end, I'll just hand you a line.
I'll smile and say, 'Don't you worry, I'm fine.'
And you'll never know darling, after you kiss me goodbye..
How I'll break down..and..cr...yyyy.
Asixties smash from Kraziekhat.
