I Will Survive

You know there are periods in one's life Where just the thought of being alone is really devastating However, being alone does not necessarily mean being lonely Better alone building a new and meaningful life Than lonely living with someone with whom there is no trust No understanding, no communication, no love Just to survive Free again Independently me again Back in circulation now Time for a celebration now Time to have a party A party At first I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you By my side I spent oh so many nights Thinking how you did me wrong But 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 with that Sad look upon your face I should've changed that stupid lock I should've made you leave your key If I'd have known for just one second You'd be back to bother me Go on now, go! Walk out the door Don't 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 For 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 I will survive It took all the strength I had Not to fall apart Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart I spent oh so many nights feeling sorry for myself I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high Now you see me Somebody new I'm not that chained up little person Who's still in love with you So you felt like dropping in And still expect me to be free Well now I'm saving all my lovin' For someone who's loving me Go on now go Walk out the door Don't 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 for 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 of this love to give And I'll survive I will survive I will survive Back in circulation now Time for celebration now Time to have a party, a party Go on now go Walk out the door Don't 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 For 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 I will survive I'm free again Woo
