I will survive - Gloria Gaynor

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

And so 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 a known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me

Woah 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 me with goodbye

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

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 life 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 not to fall apart

Just 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 person still in love with you

And so you felt like dropping in, and just expect me to be free

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

Go on 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

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

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

And I'll survive, I will survive (oh)

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

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

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

And I'll survive, I will survive

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

And so 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 a known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me

Woah 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 me with goodbye

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

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

And I'll survive, I will survive

I will survive

It took all the strength 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 will survive

I've got all my life to live and I've got so much love to give

And I'll survive, I will survive

I-I-I'll survive

Woah 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

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

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 life to live and I've got so much love to give

And I'll survive, yes I'll survive

Yeah l'll survive
