I Will Survive Lyrics

[00:08.07] At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
[00:11.56] Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
[00:15.34] But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
[00:19.26] And I grew strong and I learned how to get along
[00:23.01] And so you're back from outer space
[00:26.76] I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
[00:30.98] I should have changed that stupid lock
[00:32.86] I should have made you leave your key
[00:34.95] If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
[00:38.94] Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now
[00:43.34] 'Cause you're not welcome anymore
[00:46.60] Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
[00:50.48] Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
[00:54.14] Oh, no, not I, I will survive
[00:57.79] Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
[01:02.13] I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
[01:05.88] And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey
[01:25.51] It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
[01:28.86] Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
[01:33.05] And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
[01:37.06] I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
[01:40.92] And you see me, somebody new
[01:44.55] I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
[01:48.33] And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
[01:52.42] But now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
[01:56.44] Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now
[02:01.80] 'Cause you're not welcome anymore
[02:05.00] Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
[02:08.31] Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
[02:12.12] Oh, no, not I, I will survive
[02:15.64] Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
[02:20.29] I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
[02:24.08] And I'll survive, I will survive, oh
[02:35.78] Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now
[02:40.75] 'Cause you're not welcome anymore
[02:43.80] Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
[02:47.23] Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
[02:51.04] Oh, no, not I, I will survive
[02:54.76] Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
[02:59.19] I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
[03:03.38] And I'll survive, I will survive, I will survive
[03:10.20]
