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 just 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 you're face,
|
I should have changed that stupid lock,
|
I should have made leave your key,
|
If I'd 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 goodbyes
|
Do you think I'd crumble?
|
Do 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 will 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'll 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
|
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 break me with goodbye?
|
Did you I 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
|
I will survive
|
I will survive
|
Hey hey!
|
|
Ohhhhhhh
|
|
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 break me with goodbye?
|
Did you I 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
|
I will survive
|
I will survive
|
Hey hey!

It took all the strength I had
