I Will Survive

Oh at first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never
Live without you by my side
But 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'd have known for
Just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who try to brake 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
I've got all my love to give
I'll 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 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
And now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause 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
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
