Cyndi Lauper - I'm Gonna Be Strong

I can see

You're slipping away from me

And you're so afraid

That I'll plead with you to stay,

But I'm gonna be strong:

I'll let you go your way.

Love is gone;

There's no sense in going on

And your pity, now,

Would be more than I can bear.

So I'm gonna be strong:

I'll pretend I don't care.

I'm gonna be strong

And stand as tall as I can.

I'm gonna be strong

And let you move along

And take it like a man...

When you say "it's the end"

I'll hand you a line,

I'll smile and say:

"Don't you worry, it's fine!"

And you'll never know, darling,

After you kiss me goodbye...

How I'll break down and cry!

Cry...!

Cry...!
