First I was afraid,

I was petrified!

Kept thinkin' 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.

= = = = =

And so you're back

from outerspace,

I just walked in to find you here

with that sad look upon your face

I shoulda changed that stupid lock,

I shoulda 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've 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,

And tryin' hard to mend the pieces

of my broken heart.

And I spent oh so many nights

just feelin' sorry for myself,

I used to cry

But now I hold my head up high,

= = = = =

And you'll see me,

somebody new;

I'm not that chained up little girl

who's still in love with you.

So you felt like dropping in

and just expect me to be free,

But now I'm saving all my lovin'

for someone who's lovin' 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've got all my love to give,

I'll survive, I will survive!

Oh..

= = = = =

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've got all my love to give,

I'll survive, I will survive!

I'll survive.
