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.
