I will Survive Lyrics

I will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

...

At first I was afraid

I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many night thinking how you did me wrong

I grew strong

And I learned how to get along

So now you're back from out of space

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave your keys if I'd known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me

Go now, go

Walk out the door

Just turn around now, cos you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with your bye

Do you think I'd crumble?

Do you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no, no, no

I will survive

And 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

Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart

Though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart and I spend 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 saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

Go now, go

Walk out the door

Just turn around now cos you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with your bye

Do you think I'd crumble?

Do you think I'd lay down and die?!

Oh no, no, no

I will survive

And 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

Oh!

Go now, go

Walk out the door

Just turn around now cos you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with your bye

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?!

Oh no, no, no

I will survive and 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

I will survive!!!

At first I was afraid

I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

I grew strong

And I learned how to get along
