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 so many

nights thinking how you did me wrong and I

grew strong and I learned how to get along

and saw your 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 Oh

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 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 survive I've got all my life to live

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

I've tried hard to mend the pieces of my

broken heart And I've 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 saving all my loving for

someone who's loving me Oh 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

Oh 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 I will survive
