Lyrics

0:21At first I was afraid
0:23I was petrified
0:25I kept thinking I could never live without you
0:29By my side
0:30But then I spent so many nights
0:33Just thinking how you've done me wrong
0:36I grew strong
0:38I learned how to get along
0:41And so you're back
0:43From outer space
0:46I just walked in to find you
0:48Here without that look upon your face
0:51I should have changed that ****ing lock
0:53I would have made you leave your key
0:56If I had known for just one second
0:59You'd be back to bother me
1:02Well now go
1:04Walk out the door
1:06Just turn around
1:08Now you're not welcome anymore
1:12Weren't you the one
1:14Who tried to break me with desire
1:16Did you think I'd crumble
1:19Did you think I'd lay down and die
1:21Oh not I
1:24I will survive
1:26Yeah
1:26As Long as I know how to love
1:29I know I'll be alive
1:31I've got all my life to live
1:34I've got all my love to give
1:36I will survive
1:38I will survive
1:41Yeah yeah
2:21It took all the strength I had
2:23Just not to fall apart
2:26I'm trying hard to mend the pieces
2:28Of my broken heart
2:31And I spent oh so many nights
2:34Just feeling sorry for myself
2:36I used to cry
2:39But now I hold my head up high
2:42And you see me
2:44With somebody new
2:46I'm not that stupid little person
2:49Still in love with you
2:51And so you thought you'd just drop by
2:54And you expect me to be free
2:56But now I'm saving all my lovin'
2:59For someone whose lovin' me
3:02Well now go
3:04Walk out the door
3:06Just turn around
3:08Now you're not welcome anymore
3:12Weren't you the one
3:14Who tried to break me with desire
3:17Did you think I'd crumple
3:19Did you think I'd lay down and die
3:22Oh not I
3:24I will survive
3:26Yeah
3:27As long as I know how to love
3:29I know I'll be alive
3:31I've got all my life to live
3:34I've got all my love to give
3:36I will survive

3:41Yeah yeah
At first I was afraid

But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you've done me wrong

From outer space
I just walked in to find you
Here without that look upon your face
I should have changed that ****ing lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Well 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 desire
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh not I

As Long as I know how to love

I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah  yeah
