I Will Survive - Original 7" Version

Lyrics

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 night
 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 change 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
 Go on 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
 You think I'd crumble
 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
 And I got all my love to give
 I'll survive
 I will survive
 Hey hey
 ♪
 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 up little person
 Still in love with you
 And so you felt like dropping in
 And just expect me to be free
 Well now I'm saving all my loving
 For someone who's loving me
 Go on now go
 Walk out the door
 Just turn round now
 You're not welcome anymore
 Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
 You think I'd crumble
 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 got all my life to live
 And I've got all my love to give
 And I'll survive
 I will survive
 Oh
 Go on now go
 Walk out the door
 Just turn around now
 You're not welcome anymore
 Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
 You think I'd crumble
 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 give
 And I've got all my love to give
 And I'll survive
 I will survive
 I will survive
