Im Gonna Be Strong lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics I m Gonna Be Strong lyrics (peak Billboard position # 9 in 1964) Words and Music by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil 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 Our love is gone, there s no sense in holding on cause your pity now would be too much to bear So I m gonna be strong and pretend I don t care 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 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 cry eye-eye-eye. song lyrics
