At first I was afraid
I was petrified
thinking I couldn't
live without you
by my side
I have to spend the nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
and I learned how to get along
Ah 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
I made you leave your key
If I had known for one second
you'd be back to bother me
Go on go
Walk out the door
turn around now
you're not welcome anymore
you're 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'll survive
I will survive
It took all my strength
not to fall apart
trying with all my mind
to meet my broken heart
I spent so many nights
feeling sorry for myself
how I cry
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
expect 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
you're 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'll survive
I will survive
Go on go
Walk out the door
turn around now
you're not welcome anymore
you're 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'll survive
I will survive
It took all my strength
not to fall apart
trying with all my mind
to meet my broken heart
I spent so many nights
feeling sorry for myself
how I cry
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
expect me to be free
But 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
you're 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'll survive
I will survive
