Oh.. I...,
I will.. survive..
As.. long.. as I know how
to love I know..
I'll stay alive
'Cos I've got all,
all my life to live
And I've got
so much love to give
I'll survive..,
I'll survive...
I will,
I will
survive......
I was afraid,
I was petrified
Thinkin' I could never live
without you by my side
And I've spent so many nights,
thinkin' how you did me wrong
But I grew strong,
and I learned how
to get along
So your back,
from outer space
I just walked in
to find you here with that
sad look upon your face
I should've changed
all the locks,
I should've made
you leave your key
If I'd have known for just
one second you'd be
back to bother me
Oh now go,
walk out the door
Just turn around now,
cos you're not
welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who
tried to hurt me with good-bye
Did you think I'd 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
'Cos I've got all
my life to live
And I've got so much
love to give
And I will survive,
Took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
Trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent 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 up
little person
that's still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in,
thinking that I would be free
But now I'm saving
all my loving
for someone who's loving me
Oh now go,
walk out the door
Just turn around now,
'cos you're not welcome
anymore
no, no
Were you the one who tried
to hurt me with good-bye
Did you think I'd 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
'Cos I've got all my life to live
and I've got all my love to give
And I will survive,
yes siree yeah yeah
yeah yeah
If you wanna know,
do I need you, no,
no no no no no
no no no no no no no no
