I will survive!!!
Ignacio Rebanal
Could anybody write to me the lyrics of the song "I will survive"?. I
am not very sure about the singer-s but it is in "Four Weddings and a
Funeral" and also in the film "In and Out".
Thank you very much.

This is from the version by Cake, and some lyrics are different than
the Gloria Gaynor original, but it gives you an idea:
@SONG: I Will Survive
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you done me wrong
I grew strong, I learned how to get along
And so, you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here without that look upon your face
I should have changed my fucking lock, I would have made you leave
your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Oh, now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, not I
I will survive
Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
I will survive, I will survive
Yeah, yeah
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart
I'm 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 see me with somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just drop by and you expect me to be free
But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
Oh, now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, not I
I will survive
Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
I will survive, I will survive
Yeah, yeah.

The two versions I know are by Gloria Gaynor and Cake.
I Will Survive
Written by Dino Fekaris & Freddie Perren
At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
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 that stupid lock
I 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 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,
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,
I will survive. Hey hey.
It took all the strength I had 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 see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' 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 hurt me with goodbye
Did I 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,
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,
I will survive. Hey hey.
When the first living thing was created, I was there,
waiting. And when the last living thing shall perish,
my job will be done. I'll put the chairs on the tables,
turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me
when I leave.

There is also a version by Gladys Knight... very slow and dramatic...
