I Will Survive

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 walk in to find you here with us

You should have changed us to pull up

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?

You think I'd crumble?

You think I'd lay there and die?

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 melt 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 chain of little person still in love with you

And so you 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 I'll 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 think I'll lay down and die

You know what 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, I'll 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?

You think I'd crumble, you think I'd break 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
