At 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 done 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 my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go, walk out the door
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
As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Now 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 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 dropping in
And just expect me to be free
Well now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
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?
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
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
I will survive
I will survive
I will...
I, I will survive
As long as I know how to love I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I will survive, hey hey
I will...
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
I spent oh so many nights 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 little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
Just thinkin' I'd be free
Now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
Go, walk out the door
Don't turn around now
'Cause you ain't welcome here no more
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
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'm alive
I got all my life to live
And I got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
I will...
