i will survive lyrics

[Stephen]

by gloria gaynor

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 just thinking how you did me wrong
and i grew strong, i learned how to get along
and now your back from outer space
i just walked in to find you here with that look upon your face
i should have changed that stupid lock
i would have made you leave your key
if i had known for just one second youd 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 hurt me with desire
did you think id crumble
did you think id lay down and die
oh no not i
i will survive
oh as long as i know how to love i know im still alive
iv got all my life to live
i got all my love to give
i will survive
i will survive
it took all the strength i had no to fall apart
im 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
im not that chained up little person still in love with you
but then you felt like droppin in and just expect me to be free
but now im saving all my loving for someone whos loving 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 hurt me with desire
did you think id crumble
did you think id lay down and die
oh no not i
i will survive
oh as long as i know how to love i know im still alive
iv got all my life to live
i got all my love to give
i will survive
i will survive
