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

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

Do you think I'd crumble

Do 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 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

Do you think I'd crumble

Do 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

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

Do you think I'd crumble

Do 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!
