At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrongAnd I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And now 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 that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I'd 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
Do 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 will stay 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)
And you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
But 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 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 will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I′ve got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
