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?
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!
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,
But 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 you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break 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!
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! Oohh..
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 break 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!
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive!
And I've got all my life to live.
And I've got all my love to give.
And I'll survive. I will survive! I will survive!
