I Will Survive

[Intro]
Oh, I, I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
'Cause I've got all my life to live
And I've got so much love to give
I'll survive
I'll survive
I will, I will survive
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
I will, I will
I will survive

[Verse 1]
I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
And now I've spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
But I grew strong, I learned how to get along
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 all the locks
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, 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?

[Chorus]
Oh no, not I, I will survive (I will survive)
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
'Cause I got all my life to live
And I got all my love to give
And I will survive, I will survive

[Post-Chorus]
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

[Verse 2]
Took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent so many nights feelin' 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
That's still in love with you
And so you feet like droppin' in
And thinkin' that I would be free
But now I'm savin' all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore, no
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?

[Chorus]
Oh no, not I, I will survive (I will survive)
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
'Cause I got all my life to live
And I got all my love to give
And I will survive, yes, I will, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
If you wanna know
Do I need you? No, no-no, no
No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no
I will, I will, I will
I will survive
So long, bye-bye-bye-bye-bye
So long, bye-bye-bye, bye
So long, bye-bye-bye-bye
So long, bye-bye-bye, bye
So long, bye-bye-bye-bye-bye
So long, bye-bye-bye, bye
So long, bye-bye-bye-bye
So long, bye-bye-bye, bye
I will, I will
I will survive
I will, I will
I will survive
