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 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 had 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 |
| And 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 tryin' 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 |
| But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
