I will Survive
Gloria Gaynor

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
Kept thinking I could never
Live without you by my side.
But then I spent oh 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 now, go! Walk out the door,
Just turn around now,
'Cause you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried
To hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble,
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,
(And) I'll survive,
I will survive (Hey, hey!)


It took all the strength I had,
Not to fall apart.
Just tryin' hard to mend,
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spend, oh, so many nights,
Just feelin' sorry for myself.
I used to cry,
But now I hold my head up high.


And you'll see me, somebody new,
I'm not that chained up little girl,
Who's 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.


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 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?
You think I'd crumble,
You think I'd lay down and die.


I will survive....
