I'm a Survivor

Lyrics

They say I'm somebody so I try to live up to the name
 But I'm just not that good at dealin' with fortune and fame
 I've made mistakes, more than I care to recall
 But one way or another I always get over the fall
 I'm a survivor, I've paid my dues
 I wrote the book on hard knocks and I've bathed in the blues
 I've been the feature on the six o'clock news
 Yeah, I'm a survivor, stamped and the blues
 Sometimes I'd wonder how I've managed to live through it all
 Yes, I've spent a lifetime of living with my back to the wall
 The records will show that I've had my share of regrets
 But as long as I'm breathing you ain't heard the last of me yet
 I'm a survivor, I just like you
 Doing my best with the hand that I drew
 Just playing the part, Lord I couldn't refuse
 Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose
 Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose
 
 They say I'm somebody so I try to live up to the name
 But I'm just not that good at dealin' with fortune and fame
 I've made mistakes, more than I care to recall
 But one way or another I always get over the fall
 I'm a survivor, I've paid my dues
 I wrote the book on hard knocks and I've bathed in the blues
 I've been the feature on the six o'clock news
 Yeah, I'm a survivor, stamped and the blues
 Sometimes I'd wonder how I've managed to live through it all
 Yes, I've spent a lifetime of living with my back to the wall
 The records will show that I've had my share of regrets
 But as long as I'm breathing you ain't heard the last of me yet
 I'm a survivor, I just like you
 Doing my best with the hand that I drew
 Just playing the part, Lord I couldn't refuse
 Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose
 Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose
