I Will Survive

At first I was afraid I was petrified Thinking I couldn't live without you by my side And I've been spending nights Thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along And now you're back From outer space And I find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock Oh made you leave your key If I've known for a second you'd be back to bother me Go on now, go walk out the door Turn around now You're not welcome anymore You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will survive Long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live And all my love to give and I'll survive I, I, I will survive It took all my strength not to fall apart Trying' without my mind to mend my broken heart I spent so many nights Feeling sorry for myself, how I cried But now I hold my head up high And you see me, somebody new I'm not that lonely little person who's still in love with you Now you come dropping in Expecting me to be free Now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me Go on now, walk out the door Turn around now You're not welcome anymore You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Think I'd might crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will survive Long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive I've got my life to live And all my love to give and I'll survive I, I, I will survive Go and go, walk out the door Turn around now You're not welcome anymore You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will survive Long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live And all my love to give and I'll survive I, I, I will survive It took all my strength not to fall apart Trying' without my mind to mend my broken heart I spent so many nights Feeling sorry for myself, how I cried Now I hold my head up high And you see me, somebody new Not that lonely little person who's still in love with you Now you come dropping in Expecting me to be free But I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me Go on and go, walk out the door Turn around now You're not welcome anymore You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Think I'd might crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will survive Long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive I've got my life to live And all my love to give and I'll survive I, I, I will survive Go on and go, walk out the door Turn around now You're not welcome anymore You're the the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
