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,

I grew strong, and I learned how to get along,

And so your back, from outer space,

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look

upon your face,

I should've changed that stupid lock,

I should've 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, you 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,

For 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!

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,

And 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'll see me, somebody new,

I'm not that chained up little person still in love

with you,

And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to

be free,

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

me,

Go now go, walk out the door,

Just turn around now, cause' your not welcome

anymore,

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

goodbye,

Did ya think I'd crumble, did ya think I'd lay down

and die,

Oh no not I, I will survive,

For 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.
