I Will Survive

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
I kept thinkin' 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
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 ve changed that stupid lock,
I should ve made you leave your key!
If I had known for just one second
You d back to bother me
Go on now go, walk out the door
And 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 got all my life to live,
I got all my love to give
And I ll survive,
Not to fall apart
I kept trying to mend the pieces of my broken heart
I spent so all 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 droppin in and just 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
And 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,
I ve got all my love to give
And I ll survive,
I will survive!
