I'm Gonna Be Strong

Im Gonna Be Strong Artist: Gene Pitney (peak Billboard position # 9 in 1964) Words and Music by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil I can see youre slipping away from me And youre so afraid Ill plead with you to stay But Im gonna be strong and let you go your way Our love is gone, theres no sense in holding on cause your pity now would be too much to bear So Im gonna be strong and pretend I dont care Im gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can Yes, Im gonna be strong and let you run along and take it like a man When you say its the end Ill just hand you a line Ill smile and say "Dont you worry, Im fine" And youll never know, darling, after you kiss me goodbye How Ill break down and cryeye-eye-eye.
