Gloria Gaynor I Will Survive lyrics

First I was afraid, I was petrified!
Kept thinkin` 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 I learned how to get along.

And so you`re back from outerspace,
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I shoulda changed that stupid lock, I shoulda 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?
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`ll stay alive.
I`ve got all my life to live,
And I`ve got all my love to give,

I`ll survive, I will survive!
Hey hey..

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,
And tryin` hard to mend the pieces 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`ll see me, somebody new;
I`m not that chained up little girl who`s still in love with you.
So you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free,
But now I`m saving all my lovin` for someone who`s lovin` 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 break 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`ll stay alive,
I`ve got all my life to live,
And I`ve got all my love to give,

I`ll survive, I will survive!
Oh..

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 break 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`ll stay alive,
I`ve got all my life to live,
And I`ve got all my love to give,

I`ll survive, I will survive!
I`ll survive.
