I will survive, I will survive 
 
Seven o'clock and you're leaving again 
I want you to stay but if you must go, why not today? 
I've tried to convince and I've tried to explain 
My words don't mean much when compassion is in such 
short supply 
 
But if there's one thing I'm sure of 
I will survive, I will survive 
With all of the passion in my heart 
I know I will survive, I will survive 
 
Know I will survive, I will survive 
 
Eleven o'clock and you're still not quite sure 
Is your lingering hiss another thing that you want me 
to miss? 
Don't ever think I'm dependent on you 
I'm yours if you care, but hurt me and you won't find 
me there 
 
And if you really are leaving 
But if there's one thing I'm sure of 
I know I will survive 
When all of the hurting is over 
I will survive, I will survive 
With all of the passion in my heart 
I know I will survive, I will survive 
 
I will survive, I will survive 
I will survive, I will survive 
 
And if you really are leaving 
Maybe I'll cry, maybe I'll cry 
But if there's one thing I'm sure of 
I know I will survive 
When all of the hurting is over 
I will survive, I will survive 
With all of the passion in my heart 
I know I will survive, I will survive 
 
I will survive, I will survive 
Know I will, I will survive 
I will survive, I will survive 
I will survive, I will survive
