I Will Survive

Gloria Gaynor
I Will Survive

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 learn how to get along
And so youre 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 Idve known for just one second youd back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
(cause) youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh no, not.I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know Ill stay alive;
Ive got all my life to live,
Ive got all my love to give and Ill survive,
I will survive.

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
Im not that chained up little person still in love with you,
And so you feel like droppin in
And just expect me to be free,
Now Im savin all my lovin for someone whos lovin me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
(cause) youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh no, not.I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know Ill stay alive;
Ive got all my life to live,
Ive got all my love to give and Ill survive,
I will survive.
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
(cause) youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh no, not.I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know Ill stay alive;
Ive got all my life to live,
Ive got all my love to give and Ill survive,
I will survive.
I will survive.
