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 So now 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 have known for just one second You're 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 And 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 Kept trying 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 But 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 And 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 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 And 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) I will survive And 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) I will survive And 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)
