I Will Survive 

 

At first I was afraid I was petrified 

 

kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side; 

But thne I spent so many nights thinkin' 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 have changed that stupid lock 

 

I should have mafe you leave your key 

if I'd've known for just one second 

you'd be back to bother me 

go on now. 

 

Go on now go 

walk out the door 

just turn around now 

you're not welcome anymore 

weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye 

did I 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. Hey 

hey. 

 

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart 

 

kept tryin' hard to mend the piece of my broken heart 

 

and I spent oh so many nights just feelin' 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 saving all my lovin' 

for someone who's lovin' me.
