At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I can 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've changed that stupid lock, should've made you leave the 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 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'm still alive I've got all my love to live I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive It took all the strength I had, got to fall apart Kept 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 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'm still alive I've got all my love to live I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive 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 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'm still alive I've got all my love to live I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive I will survive Oh no not I, I will survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive I've got all my love to live I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive I will survive I will survive
