i will survive

At first I was afraid I was petrified 

I kept thinking I could never live without you By my side 

But then I spent so many nights

 Just thinking how you've done me wrong 

I grew strong 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 my fucking lock 

I would have made you leave your key 

If I had known for just one second You'd be back to bother me 

Oh now go, Walk out the door 

Just turn around Now, you're not welcome anymore 

Weren't you the one Who tried to break me with desire? 

Did you think I'd crumble? 

Did you think I'd lay down and die? 

Oh not I, I will survive 

Yeah As Long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive 

I've got all my life to live 

I've got all my love to give 

I will survive, I will survive Yeah, yeah  

It took all the strength I had Just not to fall apart 

I'm 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 With somebody new 

I'm not that stupid little person Still in love with you 

And so you thought you'd just drop by And you expect me to be free 

But now I'm saving all my lovin' For someone who's lovin' me 

Oh now go, Walk out the door Just turn around Now, you're not welcome anymore 

Weren't you the one Who tried to break me with desire? 

Did you think I'd crumble? 

Did you think I'd lay down and die? 

Oh not I, I will survive Yeah 

As long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive 

I've got all my life to live 

I've got all my love to give 

I will survive, I will survive Yeah, yeah Oh no
