Greatest Hits Medley (Rerecorded)

At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinkin' I couldn't live without you by my side
And after spendin' nights thinkin' how you did me wrong
I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

Now you're back from outer space
And I find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
Should have made you leave your key
But I've known for a second, you'd be back to bother me

Go on, go!
Walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?

No, not I!
I will survive
Long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live and all my love to give
And I'll survive
I, I, I will survive

I, I, I, I, I, I will survive
I, I, I, I, I, I will survive
I, I, I, I, I, I will survive
I, I, I, I, I, I will survive

Yeah, it took all the strength not to fall apart
Trying with all my might to mend my broken heart
I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself
How I cried, now I hold my head up high
You see me somebody new
Not that lonely little person still in love with you
Now you come droppin' in, expectin' me to be free
But I'm saving my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
Go on, go!

I never can say goodbye
No, no, I never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core

It says, "Turn around, you fool
You know you love him more and more"
Tell me, why (tell me, why) is it so?
Hey, don't want to let you go

I never can say goodbye, boy
Oh, baby, (I, I, I) hey!
I never can say goodbye
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no) ooh

Hey!
I never can say goodbye, boy
Oh, never, never (I, I, I)
I never can say goodbye

Oh, oh!
I'll be there to love and comfort you
I'll be there with the love that'll see you through

Now, when you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone (all your hope is gone)
And your life is filled with confusion
And happiness is just an illusion (happiness is just an illusion)
When your world around is tumblin' down

Darling, reach out
Reach out to me, yeah

I'll be there (I'll be there)
To love and comfort you (touch me, baby)
I'll be there (I'll be there)
With the love that'll see you through

When you're lost and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)
When you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' out on your own (driftin' out on your own)
When you need a hand to hold

Baby, reach out, oh
Reach out to me, reach out!

I'll be there
To love and comfort you
I'll (I'll) be there
With the love that'll see you through

I'll (I'll) be there
To love and comfort you (touch me, baby)
I'll be there (I'll be there)
With the love that'll see you through (reach out!)

I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty

And so what, if I love each sparkle and each bangle?
Why not try to see things from a different angle?
Your life is a sham, 'til you can shout out
"I am what I am!"

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes, the ace, sometimes, the deuces

It's one life, and there's no return, and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn, 'til you can shout out
"I am what I am!"

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes, the ace, sometimes, the deuces

It's one life, and there's no return, and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn, 'til you can shout out
"I am what I am!"

I am, I am good
I am, I am strong
I am, I am somebody
I am, I do belong

I am, I am good
I am, I am strong
I am, I am somebody
I am, I do belong

I am, I am useful
I am, I am true
I am, I am worthy
I am as good as you

I am, I am useful
I am, I am true
I am, I am worthy
