I will survive
Gloria Gaynor
At first I was afraid I was petrified.
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side.
And I spent oh so many nights.
Thinkin' how you've done me wrong.
And I grew strong and I learnt 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 that stupid lock.
I should have made you leave your key.
If I'd've known for just one second you'd 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.
(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, hey, hey...
Just turn around now.
'Cause you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye.
(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, hey, hey...
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights.
Thinkin' how you did me wrong. 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 droppin' in and just expect me to be free.
But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me.
