I Will Survive (The Aretha Version) [Terry Hunter Extended Remix]

First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I couldn't live without you by my side
When then I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

And now you're back
From outer space
I just walk in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should made you leave your key
If I've known for a second you'd be back to bother me

Oh 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
As long as I know how to love
I'll know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And got all my love to give and I'll survive
I'll survive
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah!

I will survive, give me strength and not let me fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
Yeah, I spent so many nights
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 kind of little person still swept for you
So you felt like dropping by
When you expected me to be free
Well I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me

Oh no, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble? Ha ha ha
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no (oh no), oh no (I will survive)
Woo-hoo (as I know how to love)
(I know I'll stay alive) I will
(I've got my life to live) ow-oh-you
(I've got all my love to give) yeah and I'll survive (survive)
I will survive...

Are you listenin'? (Listen here)
Now you know it took all of the strength that I had not to fall apart
I kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart (I will survive)
But I will survive

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
I try hard to mend the pieces on my broken heart
I spent so many nights
Feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry
And now I hold my head up high

And you see me, somebody new
Not that tiny little person still in love with you
Oh, so you felt like stopping by
And expected me to be free?
Yeah, well I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me

Beat it, get to steppin'
Keep it movin'
Get down on the road, alright!
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Did you think I might crumble? He, he, he, ha
Thought I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, (oh no) this is me (I will survive)
Sure not we! (as long as I know how to love)
(I know I'll stay alive)
Alright! (I've got my life to live)
(I got all my love to give) and I'll survive
I will survive
Hey, hey, hey...
