Amy Rigby Lyrics
"Even The Weak Survive"

I know you think she's heartless and she's cruel

You're probably right

She's never made someone else play the fool

She practiced all night

With a chair and rug her phone unplugged and The Rules



So do yourself a favor when you meet

You know that you might

Even though you'll never save her don't retreat

Look on the bright side

It's ugly now but you'll make it out alive

Even the weak survive

Even the weak survive



You'd laugh if you still had a sense of humor

Funny you don't

That rumor going round ain't no rumor

Somebody won't fall asleep tonight

Forget her light-colored eyes

Even the weak survive

Even the weak survive



Who plans for love's eventual slide

Why would anyone board the ride

If they knew they were gonna get thrown?

You're smart but that's all part of the trick

Makes you wish you were callous and thick

So there's things you would never have known



Someday she'll try to find you as a friend

Bully for her

And you'll kindly blur the details of the end

You're so mature

If you come undone good rule of thumb

Count to five (hundred and five)

Even the weak survive

Even the weak survive

Even the weak survive
