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

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'd known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me



Go on now go

Walk out the door

Just turn around now

Cause your not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt 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!

Oh 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'll survive

I will survive, hey hey



(Musical interlude)



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 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 little person still in love with you

And so you felt like droppin' in

And just expect me to be free

Well now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me



Oh now go

Walk out the door

Just turn around now

Cause your not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt 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!

Oh 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'll survive

I will survive 

Oooh !



Now go

Walk out the door

Just turn around now

Cause your not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt 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!

Oh 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'll survive

I will survive 



I will survive !
