At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never
live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
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 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
'Coz 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
For 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
I'll survive
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 oh so many nights
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 now 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
you think I'd crumble
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 all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
yeah yeah
