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

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've changed that stupid lock
I should've made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

Go 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
Do you think I'd crumble
Do you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I'll survive, I'll survive
Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
And 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'll 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
Now I'm savin' all my lovin
For someone who's lovin' me

Go 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
Do you think I'd crumble
Do you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no, oh no
I will survive
For as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I'll survive, I'll survive
Hey, hey

I will, I will

I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I'm not gonna stop
I'm growing stronger
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I'm not gonna stop
I'm growing stronger

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon give up
I'm not gon stop
I'm gon work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

Are you listening?
Now you know it took all og the strength I had not to fall apart
I kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
But I will survive

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
And 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'll 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
Now I'm savin' all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me

Get your step in
Keep it moving
Get on down the road

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Do you think I'd crumble
Do you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no, oh no
I will survive
For as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I'll survive, I'll survive
Hey, hey
