At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinking, I couldn't live without you by my side
And after spending nights thinking, how you did me wrong
I grew strong and I learned how to get along
Now you're back from outer space
And I find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
Or made you leave your key
If I'd known for a second you'd be back to bother me
Go on go, walk out the door, turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Your the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got my life to live and all my love to give
And I will survive, I-I-I will survive
It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying with all my might to mend my broken heart
I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself
How I cried but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
Not that lonely little person still in love with you
Now you come dropping in, expecting me to be free
Now I'm saving my loving for someone who's loving me
Go on go, walk out the door, turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Your the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Thinking I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got my life to live and all my love to give
And I will survive, I-I-I will survive
Go on go, walk out the door, turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Your the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got my life to live and all my love to give
And I will survive, I-I-I will survive
