Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

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

Thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned how to get along

So now you're back from outer space

I just walked in to find you here

With that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

If I had known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me

(Chorus)

Go on now, go, walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Cause you're not welcome any more

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 and 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'll survive

I will survive

Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had

Not to fall apart

Kept tryin' 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 person

Still in love with you

And so you feel like droppin' in

And just expect me to be free

Now I'm saving all my loving

For someone who is loving me

(Chorus x2)

It took all the strength I had

Not to fall apart

Kept tryin' 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 person

Still in love with you

And so you feel like droppin' in

And just expect me to be free

Now I'm saving all my loving

For someone who is loving me

(Chorus)
