I Will Survive

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live

Without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights

Thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned how to get along

And so you're back from outer space

I just walked in to find you here

With that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

If I had known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me

Go on now go, walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love

I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give

And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept trying hard to mend

The pieces of my broken heart

And I spent oh so many nights

Just feeling sorry for myself

I used to cry

But now I hold my head up high

And you see me, somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person

Still in love with you

And so you felt like dropping in

And just expect me to be free

But now I'm saving all my loving

For someone who's loving me

Go on now go, walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love

I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give

And I'll survive, I will survive, oh

Go on now go, walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love

I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give

And I'll survive, I will survive

I will survive

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live

Oh no, not I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love

And I've got so much love to give

And I'll survive, yes I'll survive

Yeah, I'll survive
