I
will survive
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.
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 had known for just
one second you'd be back
to bother me
Oh 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
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)
Only the Lord could give
me strength
not to fall
apart
Now I try 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
Now
I'm saving all
my loving for someone who's
loving me
Go on now
go walk out
the door (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
(crumble), did you
think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not
I! (I!) I will survive!
(You will survive!)
Oh 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), I will survive (I will survive).
Oh no, not
I! (I!) I will survive!
(You will survive!)
Oh 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), I will survive (I will survive),
I will survive!
