Lyrics:

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
I hold on a little longer, baby
I'm all the way to you
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 ?
Oh, won’t you tell me
How long can a man be strong?
Now ever since this world began
It takes a woman to make a man
And I need someone!
Don't you know I need someone? Yeah
Ooh
Oh, but all this searchin'
Is it, is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin'
Again and 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 ?

Yeah
Oh keep on waiting
Oh no, how long
Yeah
Yeah
