I Will Survive
Lyrics
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
I grew strong, and I learned how to get along
And so your back, from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should've changed that stupid lock, I should've made you leave your key
If I had 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
For as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live, 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 trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent, oh, so many nights feeling 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 chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in and expect me to be free
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 hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive, yeah, yeah
