"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,
now I learned how to get along.
And so you're back from
outer space.
I just walked in to find you here
Without that
look upon your face.
I should have changed that stupid lock.
I
should have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one
second
You'd be back to bother me.
Oh, go, now
go.
Walk out the door.
Don’t turn around now.
Cause you're
not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to hurt me
with goodbyes?
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 still alive.
I've got
all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will
survive.
I will survive.
Hey~Hey~
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 stop by, drop in,
And expect me to be free.
But
now I'm saving all my love
For someone who's loving me.
Oh,
go, now go.
Walk out the door.
Don’t turn around now.
You're
not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to crash me
with goodbyes?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay
down and die?
Oh, no, not I.
I will survive, and,
As
long as I know how to love
I know I'll still alive.
I've got
all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will
survive.
I will survive.
Oh~
Go, oh, now
go.
Walk out the door.
Don’t turn around now.
You're not
welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to crash 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, and,
As
long as I know how to love
I know I'll still alive.
I've got
all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
And, I will
survive.
I will survive.
Oh, now, go.
Walk out the
door.
Don’t turn around now.
Cause you're not welcome
anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to crash 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, and,
As
long as I know how to love
I know I'll still alive.
I've got
all my life to live.
So much love to give.
I will survive.
I
will survive.
