I look at all the things I put you through
I´ve often wondered how it bothered you
I know how close I came to losing you
But we managed to stay alive
I guess only the strong survive
I just gotta tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Sometimes we learn ´bout being a fool
I don´t know why, girl, we´ve lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong

I took for granted that you´d always be there
I know it seemed at times I didn´t care
I didn´t know what you had given me
But with love it takes some time
But through the joy and pain, you´re mine
I just gotta tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Sometimes we learn ´bout being a fool
I don´t know why, girl, we´ve lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong

It may be the water
That keeps us strong
You know that I´m so glad to say, oh baby
That it all turned out this way, ´cause you know that
It almost slipped away, oh baby
But we managed to stay alive
I guess only the strong survive
I just gotta tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Sometimes we learn ´bout being a fool
I don´t know why, girl, we´ve lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong

You know that I´m so glad to say, oh baby
That it all turned out this way, cause you know that
It almost slipped away, oh baby
But we managed to stay alive
I guess we found that only the strong survive
So I just had to tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Sometimes we learn ´bout being a fool
I don´t know why, girl, we´ve lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong
It may be the water
That keeps us strong
