How long can a man be strong

How long can a man be strong Lyrics

I've been a restless
for a long, long time;
Tryin' to find a home
for this heart of mine.
The nights are lonely,
and the days are long;
It's hard to find a reason
to carry on.

But all this searchin',
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin'
again and again?

Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on,
Without the love of a woman
to call his own,
Tell me, how long
can a man be strong?

It's on every man's mind
to find that special girl;
Some of them get lucky,
but I'm alone in this world.
Still I know she's out there somewhere,
so I'm gonna keep on tryin';
Someday I'm gonna find her,
it's just a matter of time.

As long as I've been waiting,
I know she's been waitin' too.
Hold on a little longer, baby,
I'm on my way to you.

Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on,
Without the love of a woman
to call his own,
Tell me, how long
can a man be strong?
Won't ya tell me, how long can a man be strong?

Now ever since this world began,
It takes a woman to make a man,
and I need someone;
Don't you know I need someone?

Yeah...

Ohh...

But all this searchin', is it,
Is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin'
again and again and again?

Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on,
Without the love of a woman
to call his own,
Tell me, how long
can a man be strong?

Yeah...
Oh, keep on waitin'...
Woah, I don't know how long...

Yeah...
