I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

At first I was afraid I was petrified

Thinking I couldn t live without you by my side

And I ve been spending nights

Thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned how to get along

And now you re back

From outer space

And I find you here with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock

Oh made you leave your key

If I ve known for a second you d be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door

Turn around now

You re not welcome anymore

You re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Do you think I d crumble

Did you think I d lay down and die

No not I I will survive

Long as I know how to love

I know I ll stay alive

I ve got all my life to live

And all my love to give and I ll survive

I I I will survive

It took all my strength not to fall apart

Trying without my mind to mend my broken heart

I spent so many nights

Feeling sorry for myself how I cried

But now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new

I m not that lonely little person who s still in love with you

Now you come dropping in

Expecting me to be free

Now I m saving all my loving for someone who s loving me

Go on now walk out the door

Turn around now

You re not welcome anymore

You re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Think I d might crumble

Did you think I d lay down and die

No not I I will survive

Long as I know how to love

I know I ll stay alive

I ve got my life to live

And all my love to give and I ll survive

I I I will survive

Go and go walk out the door

Turn around now

You re not welcome anymore

You re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Do you think I d crumble

Did you think I d lay down and die

No not I I will survive

Long as I know how to love

I know I ll stay alive

I ve got all my life to live

And all my love to give and I ll survive

I I I will survive

It took all my strength not to fall apart

Trying without my mind to mend my broken heart

I spent so many nights

Feeling sorry for myself how I cried

Now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new

Not that lonely little person who s still in love with you

Now you come dropping in

Expecting me to be free

But I m saving all my loving for someone who s loving me

Go on and go walk out the door

Turn around now

You re not welcome anymore

You re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Think I d might crumble

Did you think I d lay down and die

No not I I will survive

Long as I know how to love

I know I ll stay alive

I ve got my life to live

And all my love to give and I ll survive

I I I will survive

Go on and go walk out the door

Turn around now

You re not welcome anymore
