At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinkin I could never live without you by my side Then I spent so many nights thinking 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 coz 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 For 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 ll survive I will survive Hey hey
(i, I will survive) Hey hey (i, I will survive) Every day (i, I will survive) Oh yeah
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Just 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 But 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 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 ll survive I will survive Hey hey
Go now, go walk out the door Just turn around now coz 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 ll survive I will survive
