I Will Survive
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But I spent, oh so many nights
Just 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 my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd have 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
'Cause I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive
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'll see me, somebody new
I'm not that chain of little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping and now you expect me to be free
But now I'm saving 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
'Cause 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
Oh, as long as I know
How to love I know I'll stay alive
'Cause I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But I spent, oh so many nights
Just 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 my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd have 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
'Cause I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive
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

And I'll survive, I will survive
Go on, now go, walk out the door

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
'Cause I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive
