At first I was afraid, I was petrified
kept thinkin' could never live without you by me side
but then I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong
and I grew strong, I learnt how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked into fit you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave you key
if I'd've know for just one second you'd 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 with goodbye?
Did you think did I crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and lie?
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 live to live and I’ve got all my love to give
and 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 girl just still in love with you
and so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free
now I'm savin' 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 with goodbye?
Did you think did I crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and lie?
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 live to live and I’ve got all my love to give
I'll survive, I will survive, ooh
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 with goodbye?
Did you think did I crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and lie?
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 live to live and I’ve got all my love to give
I'll survive, I will survive
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 with goodbye?
Did you think did I crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and lie?
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 live to live and I’ve got all my love to give
and I'll survive, I will survive, ooh
I will survive
