I Will Survive lyrics

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
I grew strong
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 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
as long as i know how to love
I know I will 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 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
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I`m not that chained up little girl
who fell in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I`m saving all my loving
for someone who`s loving 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
as long as i know how to love
I know I will 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 (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
as long as i know how to love
I know I will 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
I will survive...!
