I will Survive.....

by Gloria Gaynor

At first, I was afraid,

I was petrified.

I kept thinkingI could never live without you by my side.

But then I spent so many nightsJust thinking

how you'd done me wrong.

And I grew strong.I learned how to get along.

So, now you're backFrom outer space.

I just walked in to find you hereWithout that 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.Oh, now go,

Walk out the door.Just turn around now.

You're not welcome anymore.

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?

Did you think I'd crumble?Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I.I will survive.As long as I know how to love,

I know I'll be alive.I've got all my life to live.

I've got all my love to give.I will survive.

I will survive.Yeah, yeah.

It took all the strength I hadJust not to fall apart.

I'm trying hard to mend the piecesOf my broken heart.

And I spent so many nightsJust feeling sorry for myself.

I used to cry.But now, I hold my head up high.

And you see meWith somebody new.

I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you.

And so, you thought you'd just drop byAnd you expect me to be free.

But now I'm saving all my loveFor someone who's loving me.

Oh, now go,Walk out the door.Just turn around now.

You're not welcome anymore.Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?

Did you think I'd crumble?Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I.I will survive.As long as I know how to love,

I know I'll be alive.I've got all my life to live.

I've got all my love to give.I will survive.

I will survive.

Yeah, yeah.
