| At 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 sad look upon your face | 
| I should have changed that stupid lock | 
| I should have made you leave your key | 
| If I'd 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? | 
| 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 | 
| Kept 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 you felt like dropping in | 
| And just expect me to be free | 
| And 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? | 
| 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 | 
| 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? | 
| 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 | 
| I will survive |
