how long can a man be strong

Jeff Healey

I've been a restless,
for a long, long time
Tryin' to find a home
for heart of mine
The nights are lonely,
and the days are long
Itââ?¬â?¢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 ?

Itââ?¬â?¢s on every manââ?¬â?¢s mind,
to find that special girl
Someone to love me,
when Iââ?¬â?¢m alone in the world

But I know sheââ?¬â?¢s out there somewhere,
so Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna keep tryinââ?¬â?¢
Someday Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna find her,
itââ?¬â?¢s just a matter of time

As long as Iââ?¬â?¢ve been waiting,
I know sheââ?¬â?¢s been waiting, too
Hold on a little longer,
Iââ?¬â?¢m all the way to you

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

Ooh

But all this searchinââ?¬â?¢,
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losinââ?¬â?¢,
again and again and again?

Yeah
Oh keep on waiting
Oh noooo
