Survivor/ 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 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

Well, 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?

I'm a survivor (what?)

I'm not gon' give up (what?)

I'm not gon' stop (what?)

I'm gon' work harder (what?)

I'm a survivor (what?)

I'm gonna make it (what?)

I will survive (what?)

Keep on survivin' (what?)

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept 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

I'm a survivor (what?)

I'm not gon' give up (what?)

I'm not gon' stop (what?)

I'm gon' work harder (what?)

I'm a survivor (what?)

I'm gonna make it (what?)

I will survive (what?)

Keep on survivin' (what?)

Thought I couldn't breathe without you

I'm inhaling

You thought I couldn't see without you

Perfect vision

You thought I couldn't last without you

But I'm lastin'

You thought that I would die without you

But I'm livin'

Thought that I would fail without you

But I'm on top

Thought it would be over by now

But it won't stop

Thought that I would self-destruct

But I'm still here

Even in my years to come

I'm still gon' be here

I'm a survivor (what?)

I'm not gon' give up (what?)

I'm not gon' stop (what?)

I'm gon' work harder (what?)

I'm a survivor (what?)

I'm gonna make it (what?)

I will survive (what?)

Keep on survivin' (what?)

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! Ooh

I'm a survivor (what?)

I'm not gon' give up (what?)

I'm not gon' stop (what?)

I'm gon' work harder (what?)

I'm a survivor (what?)

I'm gonna make it (what?)

I will survive (what?)

Keep on survivin' (what?)
