At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could
never live without
you by my side
But then I spent so many
nights thinking how
you did me wrong
But 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
'Cos you're not
welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
who tried to break
me with goodbye?
You think
I'd crumble
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
Oh...
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 felt like
dropping in and just
expect me to be free
Now I'm saving all my
loving for someone
who's loving me
Go on now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cos you're not
welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
who tried to break
me with goodbye?
You think
I'd crumble
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
Oh...
Go on now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cos you're not
welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
who tried to break
me with goodbye?
You think
I'd crumble
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
Oh now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cos you ain't
welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
who tried to break
me with goodbye?
You think
I'd crumble
