I Will Survive

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 learned how to get along

And so you're back, from outta 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 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

Think I'd crumble?

Think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I. I'll survive

Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive

I've got all my life to live

I've got all my love to give and I'll survive

I wil survive. Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart

And I spent oh so many nights

Just feelin' 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 feel like droppin' in

And just expect me to be free

Now I'm savin' all my love for someone who's lovin' me
