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 |
