I WILL SURVIVE

first I was afraid,
I was petrified
kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I GREW STRONG
I learned how to carry on
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 my 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

Go on now, go walk out the door
just turn aroung 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
as long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I will survive.

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry,
NOW i hold my head up high
and you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little girl
still in love with you,
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my love
for someone who's loving me
