I Will Survive Songtext

I Will Survive Songtext
At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinking I couldn′t live without you by my side
And after spendin' nights thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
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
Or made you leave your key
If I'd known for a second
You'd be back to bother me
Go on, go
Walk out the door
Turn around now
You′re not welcome anymore
You′re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did 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 will survive
I, I, I, I will survive
It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying with all my might 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 still in love with you
Now you come dropping in
Expectin′ me to be free
Now I'm saving my lovin'
For someone who′s loving me
Go on, go
Walk out the door
Turn around now
You′re not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Thinkin′ 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 my life to live
And all my love to give and I will survive
I, I, I, I will survive
Go on, 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 my life to live
And all my love to give and I will survive
I, I, I, I will survive
Yeah, it took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying with all might 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 still in love with you
Now you come dropping in
Expectin′ me to be free
But I'm saving my lovin′
For someone who's loving me
Go on, go
Walk out the door
And turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You′re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Thinkin′ 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 my life to live
And all my love to give and I will survive
I, I, I, I will survive
Go on, go
Walk out the door
Don't turn around now
You′re not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
