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 oh 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 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 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?

You think I'd crumble?

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.

I've got all my love to give.

And I'll survive,

I will survive, hey, hey.

Well it took all the strength I had

Not to fall apart.

I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.

And I spent, oh so many nights

Thinking how you did me wrong,

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 now you felt like dropping in,

And just expect me to be free.

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.

I've got all my love to give.

And I'll survive,

I will survive. oh oh

Oh, 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.

I've got all my love to give.

And I'll survive,

I will survive.

I will survi-i-ive.
