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'd have 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
And I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey
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 feelin' 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
Well now I'm savin'
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 crush 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
And 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
Ohh
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 crush me
with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd
lay down and die
No no not I
I will survive
And 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
I will survive
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 crush 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
And 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
so much love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
Yeah yeah
