At first I was afraid, I was petrified   Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side   But I spent, oh so many nights   Just thinkin' how you did me wrong   And I grew strong and I learned how to get along      And 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 my stupid lock   I should have made you leave your key   If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me      Go on, 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?      Oh no, not I, I will survive   Oh, 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 all my love to give   And I'll survive, I will survive      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'll see me, somebody new   I'm not that chain of little person still in love with you   And so you felt like dropping and now you expect me to be free   But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me      Go on, now go, walk out the door   Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore   Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?   Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?      Oh no, not I, I will survive   Oh, 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 all my love to give   And I'll survive, I will survive      Go on, now go, walk out the door   Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore   Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?   Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?      Oh no, not I, I will survive   Oh, 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 all my love to give   And I'll survive, I will survive
