I Will Survive (Original 7" Version)

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 night

Thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And 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 change 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 the door

Just turn around now

'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

You think I'd crumble

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

And I got all my love to give

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

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 felt like dropping in

And just expect me to be free

Well now I'm saving all my loving

For someone who's loving me

Go on now go

Walk out the door

Just turn round now

You're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye

You think I'd crumble

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 got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give

And I'll survive

I will survive

Oh

Go on 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 goodbye

You think I'd crumble

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 give

And I've got all my love to give

And I'll survive

I will survive

I will survive
