Coming On Strong<\/p>\n
Coming on strong.
\nI wanted it to go on and on.
\nI feared when she\u2019d be gone.
\nShe was coming on strong.<\/p>\n
I wanted her to stay.
\nMaybe she might think it\u2019s wrong.
\nFor her to be coming on strong.
\nSo I began to pray.<\/p>\n
Just one date was all it took.
\nShe let me know she wanted more.
\nEven as we slipped in my door.
\nShe give me that special look.<\/p>\n
Then I finally saw the light.
\nI needed to come on strong too.
\nThat was it. I was no fool.
\nJust what was needed to make it right.<\/p>\n
Years later, it is still strong.
\nOne night of love has lasted till now.
\nWe came on strong and made a vow.
\nIt has lasted ohh, so long.<\/p>\n
If this should happen to you.
\nCome on strong while you can.
\nCome on now, you\u2019re a man.
\nIt could last, if you want it to.<\/p>\n
