I Will Survive
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!
So now you`re back from out of 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 on now, go, walk out that door!
Just turn around now‚
cause you`re not welcome any more.
Weren`t you the one who tried to hurt (crush) me with goodbye?
Did I crumble
Did I lay down and die
Oh no, not I! I will survive!
Oh and as long as I know how to love I know I 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! Hey, hey.
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
Kept tryin` 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 feel like droppin` in,
and just expect me to be free,
now I`m saving all my loving for someone who is loving me!
Go on now...
