Lyrics Jean Shepard

Jean Shepard

The Weak and the Strong

This just couldn't last, the way some things do

These awful heartaches are long overdue

With some there is hope for a love that is gone

And life has it's pick of the weak and the strong

We've been so unwise and unfaithful too

Can we trust ourselves again to be true

Untold is the sadness when love has gone wrong

Cause life has it's pick of the weak and the strong

If we had the chance to love once again

Could we find a way to change what has been

Love can be a treasure, love can be a song

Cause life has it's pick of the weak and the strong

The gossips will talk and strangely enough

The stories they spread will be about us

Why fear tongues of evil, one's doomed by their own

And life has it's pick of the weak and the strong.
