I Will Survive

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along

And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
Without that 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

!Oh! 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! not I

I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive

I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I will survive
I will survive
!hey, hey

It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
I'm 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'll 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 you just expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me

Go now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
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! not I

I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
