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've changed that stupid lock
I should've made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

Go 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
Do you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not I, I will survive
For 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
And trying hard to mend the pieces
of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself

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 droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin'
for someone who's lovin' me

Go 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
Do you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not I, I will survive
For 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

Go 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
Do you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love
