I Will Survive (The Aretha Version)

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 had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
 Boy, now go, walk out the door
 Just turn around now 'cause you're 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 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
 And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey
 I will survive,
 Give me the strength I had not to fall apart
 Just 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 (see me), somebody new
 I'm not that chained up little person still swept for 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
 Oh no, 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
 Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die?
 Oh, no
 Oh, no, not 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
 And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey
