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
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 Ooh
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
