I Will Survive lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh, ooh

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong

And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

[Verse 1]

And 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'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

[Pre-Chorus]

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?

You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?

[Chorus]

Oh no, I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'm still alive

I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give

I will survive, I will survive

[Verse 2]

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 so many nights 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 felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free

Well now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

[Pre-Chorus]

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?

You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?

[Chorus]

Oh no, I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'm still alive

I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give

I will survive, I will survive

Mmm
