I Will Survive

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 thinking how you did me wrong
 And I grew strong
 And I learned how to get along
 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 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 so much love to give
 And I'll survive
 I will survive
 It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
 Kept tryin' 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 savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' 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
 Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
 I've got all my life to live
 I've got so much love to give
 And I'll survive
 I will survive
 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 all my life to live
 I've got so much love to give
 And I'll survive
 I will survive
