At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live
without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back, from outta space
I just walked in to find you here with
that sad look upon your face
I should have changed 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 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
Think I'd crumble?
Think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not! I'll survive
Oh as long as I know
how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to
give and I'll survive
I wil survive. Hey, hey
It took all the strength
I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just 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 still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my love
for someone who's lovin' me
Go 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
Think I'd crumble?
Think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not! I'll survive
Oh as long as I know
how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love
to give and I'll survive
I wil survive. Hey, hey
