At first I was afraid, I was petrifiedKept' thinkin' I could never liveWithout you by my sideBut then I spent so many nightsThinkin' how you did me wrongAnd I grew strongAnd I learned how to get alongAnd now you're back, from outer spaceI just walked in to find you hereWith that sad look upon your faceI should've changed that stupid lockI should've made you leave your keyIf I had known for just one secondYou'd be back to bother meGo now goWalk out the doorJust turn around nowCause you're not welcome anymoreWeren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyeDo you think I'd crumbleDo you think I'd lay down and dieOh no not I, I will surviveFor as long as I know how to loveI know I'll stay aliveI've got all my life to liveAnd I'll survive, I'll surviveHey, heyIt took all the strength I had not to fall apartAnd trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heartAnd I spent oh so many nightsJust feeling sorry for myselfI used to cryBut now I hold my head up highAnd you'll see me, somebody newI'm not that chained up little personStill in love with youAnd so you felt like droppin' inAnd just expect me to be freeNow I'm savin' all my lovinFor someone who's lovin' meGo now goWalk out the doorJust turn around nowCause you're not welcome anymoreWeren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyeDo you think I'd crumbleDo you think I'd lay down and dieI will surviveFor as long as I know how to loveI know I'll stay aliveI've got all my life to liveAnd I'll survive, I'll surviveHey, heyI will, I willI'm a survivorI'm gonna make itI'm not gonna stopI'm growing strongerI'm a survivorI'm gonna make itI'm not gonna stopI'm growing strongerI'm a survivorI'm not gon give upI'm not gon stopI'm gon work harderI'm a survivorI'm gonna make itI will surviveKeep on survivin'Are you listening?Now you know it took all og the strength I had not to fall apartI kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heartBut I will surviveIt took all the strength I had not to fall apartAnd trying hard to mend the piecesof my broken heartAnd I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myselfI used to cry, but now I hold my head up highAnd you'll see me, somebody newI'm not that chained up little personstill in love with youAnd so you felt like droppin' inAnd just expect me to be freeNow I'm savin' all my lovin'For someone who's lovin' meGet your step inKeep it movingGet on down the roadWeren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyeDo you think I'd crumbleDo you think I'd lay down and dieI will surviveFor as long as I know how to loveI know I'll stay aliveI've got all my life to liveAnd I'll survive, I'll surviveHey, hey
