Lyrics I Will Survive - Jemaine Clement, Kristin Chenoweth

I Will Survive

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking that I could never live
I could barely fly
And I spent oh, so many nights thinking how he did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
Go on now, go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
It is I who have the floor
Where you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I crumble?
Oh no!
Did you think I lay down and die?
Oh no, not Nige!
I will survive!
As long as I know how to hate, I know I’ll stay alive
Ahh, ahh, ahh!
I got all my life to live
And I got all my love to give!
And I will survive
You will survive!
I will survive
We will survive!
I’m a survivor
I’ve got the eye of a tiger
I’ve training again and eating my fiber
You’ve been staying alive, well I’ve been staying alive-er
Watch where you sit when I spit my saliva like boom!
You never seen a cockatoo
Rockin' and shockin' and droppin' and poppin' and lockin' too?
Watch what I can do with no autotune!
Say what?
Oh oh!
Oh no, he didn’t!
If you try to keep me down, I’ll just come back stronger
If you try to keep me short, I’ll just come back longer
If you beat me at ping pong, I’ll just play ping pong-er
Give me my throne, I am ready to thrive
One thing I know
I will survive!
I will survive!
