I'm a Survivor I'll do just what it takes to stay alive I'm a Survivor, I will survive I've lost a silly heart a time or two I know just what a cheap man can do They say they love you, then they'll hit the door I've lost in battles, but I won the war I'm a Survivor, I will prevail I will not turn my back and I won't fail I'll do just what it takes to stay alive I'm a Survivor, I will survive Nobody's got a stiffer upper lip Cause nothing's fat enough to make me quit Like Mama told me a few years back Custody people are too tough to crack I'm a Survivor, I will prevail I will not turn my back and I won't fail I'll do just what it takes to stay alive I'm a Survivor, I will survive You better believe I'm a Survivor Cause I'd have been gone a long time ago This old girl knows what work is This old girl knows what work is
