Coming on Strong
Henson Cargill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coming on strong coming on strong
I can feel the heartaches coming on strong
I can feel the teardrops the pain and sorrow
Ever since she's been gone they've been coming on strong

Pain come on in hello sorrow I see you're back again
Teardrops glad you dropped by cause you can help me to drown my pride
And since you're here the time just seems to fly
To let you know you're gonna be with me till I lose my mind

She's been gone much too long and I can feel the heartaches coming on strong
The only thing you left me was misery for company




And the mem'ry of a love gone wrong that keep coming on strong
Coming on strong coming on strong coming on strong coming on strong
