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 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
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
I've got
all my life to live
and I've got
all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
hey-hey
Ooh-ooh-ooh
It took
all the strength I had
not to fall apart
Kept tryin' 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 droppin' in
and just expect me
to be free
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
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
I've got
all my life to live
and I've got
all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
hey-hey
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
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
I've got
all my life to live
and I've got
all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
I will survive
I will survive
Ooh-ooh
I will survive
yeah-yeah-yeah
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
