I Will Survive

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

Just thinking in 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 made you leave your key

If I'd had 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 his bye's?

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

Just 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 in 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 saving all my loving

For someone who's loving 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 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

And I've got all my love to give

And I'll survive

I will survive

Hey, hey
