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

Thinkin' 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

I will survive, I will survive, hey, hey

Ooh-ooh

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 feelin' 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 droppin' in

And just expect me to be free

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

And I've got all my love to give

And I'll survive, I will survive

Aye-yeah-aye-yeah-aye

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

And I've got all my love to give

I will survive, I will survive

Yeah-yeah

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh, ooh

I will survive

I will survive, ooh

I will survive, yeah, yeah

(I will survive)

(I will survive)

(I will survive)

(I will survive)

(I will survive)

(I will survive)

(I will survive)
