First I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side And I spent so many nights thinking 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 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 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 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 I said "Lord, give me strength and don't let me fall apart" I'm 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 now you see me (see me) somebody new I'm not that tender little person, still sweat for you So you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free Well I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me Oh, no, walk out the door Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh, no, oh no I will survive 'Cause 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 I, I, I, will, will I'm a survivor (oh) I'm gon' to make it I'm gonna get stronger I'm a survivor (survivor) I'm gonna make it (What?) I'm not gon' stop I'm gonna get stronger I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up I'm not gon stop I'm gonna worker harder Are you listing? Now you know I took all? Not to fall apart I will survive, I will survive But I will survive, I will survive I take all the strength I had not to fall apart I can't hold the many pieces of my broken heart 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 tender little person still in love with you Oh so you feel like stopping by and just expect me to be free Well I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me Beat it (beat it) get to steppin' (get to steppin') Keep it moving , get it on down Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye? Did you think I'd crumble, I'd lay down and die? Oh, no, not this is me, I will survive Sure 'nuff, me ('cause 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
