I Will Survive
Gloria Gaynor
I Will Survive (Original Version)
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I can't never live
without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
thinking 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've change that stupid lock
I should've made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'll be back to bother me
Oh now go, walk out the door
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
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 have not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling 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 chained up little person Still in love with you
So you felt like dropping in and expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving for some one who's loving me
So now go, walk out the door
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
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive.
So now go, walk out the door
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
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive
I will survive
