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 any more
Weren't you the one
who tried to hurt me
with goodbye
Do 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
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 feeling
sorry for myself
I used to cry
And 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 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 any more
Weren't you the one
who tried to hurt me
with goodbye
Do 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
I've got all
my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
oh
Go on now go
