I Will Survive

(Dino Fekaris & Freddie Perren)

At first I was afraid I was petrified

Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;

But then I spent so many nights

Thinkin' how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learn 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'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me

[02:39][02:00][00:38]Go on now, go walk out the door

[02:42][02:04][00:42]Just turn around now

[02:44][02:07][00:44]('cause) you're not welcome anymore

[02:47][02:09][00:47]Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

[02:50][02:13][00:51]Did I crumble

[02:52][02:15][00:52]Did you think I'd lay down and die?

[02:55][02:17][00:55]Oh no, not.I. I will survive

[02:58][02:21][00:59]Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;

[03:03][02:25][01:03]I've got all my life to live,

[03:05][02:28][01:05]I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,

[04:31][03:11][03:09][02:31][01:09]I will survive.

[01:13]

[01:28]It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

[01:32]Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,

[01:36]And I spent oh so many nights

[01:38]Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry

[01:42]But now I hold my head up high

[01:44]And you see me somebody new

[01:48]I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,

[01:53]And so you feel like droppin' in

[01:54]And just expect me to be free,

[01:56]Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
