I Will Survive

At first I was afraid I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

I spent, oh, so many nights

Thinking how you did me wrong

But 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 with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

If I've known for just one second you'd 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

Do 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,

hey, hey

And you see me, somebody new

I'm not that chained up little girl who's still in love with you

And so you felt like dropping in

And still expect me to be free

Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving 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

Do 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,

hey
