I was born a motherless child
I was born right in December
And the only thing I remember
Was growing up all alone
Without love or friends to help me
The odds were high against me
But I kept on fighting
And I made it on my own
'Cause I'm a survivor, survivor, survivor
No, no, no-one puts me down
I'm a survivor, survivor, survivor
No, no, no
If I'm down I'll never be losing
Although I'm far behind you
I'll come bouncing back to remind you
I'll never stay on the floor
So I hope you'll say you love me
But if that's not how you're feeling
I'll just keep on trying
'Till I'm back on top once more
'Cause I'm a survivor, survivor, survivor
No, no, no-one puts me down
I'm a survivor, survivor, survivor
No, no, no
'Cause I'm a survivor, survivor, survivor
No, no, no-one puts me down
I'm a survivor, survivor, survivor
No, no, no
'Cause I'm a survivor, survivor, survivor
No, no, no-one puts me down
I'm a survivor, survivor, survivor
No, no, no
'Cause I'm a survivor, survivor, survivor
No, no, no-one puts me down
