(Gloria Gaynor)
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 I learned how to get along,
And so your back, from outerspace,
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 had 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,
You think I'd crumble? 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,
And 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'll see me, somebody new,
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,
And so you felt 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 your not welcome anymore,
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye,
You think I'd crumble? 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. Oh
Go on now go, walk out the door,
Just turn around now, 'cause your not welcome anymore,
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye,
You think I'd crumble? You think I 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, I will survive
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,
And 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'll see me, somebody new,
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,
And so you felt 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,
You I'd crumble? D'you think I'd break 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,I will survive
