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
