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 hurt 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
|
I will survive
|
|
(I, I will survive)
|
Hey
|
(I, I will survive)
|
Every day
|
(I, I will survive)
|
Yeah yeah
|
|
(I, I will survive)
|
Oh
|
(I, I will survive)
|
I will survive
|
(I, I will survive)
|
|
(I, I will survive)
|
I′ve got all my love to give
|
(I, I will survive)
|
I′ve got all my life to live
|
(I, I will survive)
|
My loving is not in vain, oh no
|
|
(I, I will survive)
|
I will survive
|
(I, I will survive)
|
I will survive
|
(I, I will survive)
|
Hey
|
|
(repeat)
