I Will Survive

First I was afraid I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights

Thinking 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

Look upon your face

Should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

I have 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

Think I'd crumble 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

Just 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 see me somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person

Still in love with you

And so felt like dropping in

And just expect me to be free

Now I'm saving

All my loving for someone who's loving 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

Think I'd crumble 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

And I've got all my love to give

And I'll survive

I will survive

Oh

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

You think I'd crumble you gotta 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
