Im Survive lyrics

Originally performed by Gloria Gaynor

At 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
Thinkin` how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
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`d`ve known for just one second you`d 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 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 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 feel like droppin` in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I`m savin` all my lovin` for someone who`s lovin` me
