Gene Pitney I'm Gonna Be Strong song lyrics

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

'Cos your pity now would be to 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 am

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
