I Will Survive

First I was afraid, I was petrified
 Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
 I spent, oh, so many nights just thinkin' how you did me wrong
 Then I grew strong, and I learned how to get along
 So your back from outer space
 I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
 Should've changed that stupid lock, should've made you leave your key
 If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
 It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
 Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
 I spent, oh, so many nights feeling sorry for myself
 I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
 You'll see me, somebody new
 I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
 So you felt like droppin' by, just expect me to be free
 Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
 Oh, now go, walk out the door
 But turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
 Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
 You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die?
 Oh no, not I, I will survive
 Just 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 all my love to give
 I will survive, I will survive
 Hey-hey
