At first I was afraid, I was petrified Thinking I could live without you by my side And after spending nights Thinking how you did me wrong I grew strong And I learned how to get along Now you're back From outer space And I find you here With that sad look upon your face I should've changed that stupid lock Or made you leave your key If I'd've known for a second You'd be back to bother me Go on, go, walk out the door Turn around now You're not welcome anymore You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will survive Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got my life to live And all my love to give and I will survive I, I, I will survive It took all my strength not to fall apart Trying with all my might to mend my broken heart I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself How I cried But now I hold my head up high And you see me, somebody new I'm not that lonely little person Still in love with you Now you come droppin' in Expectin' me to be free Now I'm saving my lovin' For someone who's loving me Go on and go, walk out the door Turn around now You're not welcome anymore You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Thinkin' I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will survive Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got my life to live, and all my love to give And I will survive I, I will survive Go on, go, walk out the door Turn around now You're not welcome anymore You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will survive Long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive I've got my life to live And all my love to give and I will survive I, I, I will survive
