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 now you're back from outer space

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face

I shoulda changed that stupid lock

I shoulda made you leave your key

If I'd 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?

Do 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

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 by and just expect me to be free

But 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?

Do 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
