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
I learned how to get along
And so you're back
From outer space
I walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
Made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
On now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
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
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive
♪
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 feelin' sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
Go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
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 live, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
(Oh)
Oh I will survive
Yea yea, I will survive
Oh oh oh yea I will survive
(Yea yea)
I will survive
I will survive in
I will survive in
I will survive in
(Oh)
