At first I was afraid, I was petrified   Keep thinking I could never live without you by my side   But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong   And I grew strong now 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   Should have changed that stupid lock   Should have made you leave your key      If I'd've known for just one second you'd 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 I crumble?   Did you think I'd lay and die?   Oh, no, that I, I will survive      For as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive   I've got all my life to live   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 trying hard to mend the piece of my broken heart   And I spent all so many nights   Just feeling 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 dropping in and just expect me to be free      Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving 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   You think I crumble?   You think I'd lay down and die?   Oh no, that I, I will survive      For as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive   I've got all my life to live   I've got all my love to give and I'll survive   I will survive, hey, hey
