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 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'd 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 oh not I 

I will survive

Ohhh 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

Kept 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 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

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 oh not I 

I will survive

Ohhh 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 !! I will survive

Ohhh 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
