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 just 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,

It took all the strenght i had not to fall apart,

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' by and just expect me to be free,

Now i'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me,

Oh 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 ya think i'd crumble, did ya think i'd lay down and die,

Oh no not i, i will survive,

Just 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
