how long can a man be strong

The Jeff Healey Band

I've been a restless,
for a long, long time
Tryin' to find a home
for this heart of mine
The nights are lonely,
and the days are long
It?s hard to find a reason,
to carry on

But all this searchin',
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin',
again and again?

Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on,
without the love of a woman,
to call his own?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong ?

It?s on every man?s mind,
to find that special girl
Some of them getta lucky
But I'm alone in this world

Still I know she?s out there somewhere
so I?m gonna keep on tryin?
Someday I?m gonna find her,
it?s just a matter of time

As long as I?ve been waiting,
I know she?s been waiting, too
Hold on a little longer,
I?m all the way to you

Now ever since this world began,
it takes a woman to make a man
Now I need someone!
Don?t you know I need someone?

Ooh

But all this searchin?,
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin?,
again and again and again?

Yeah
Oh keep on waiting
Oh noooo
Yeah
