I Will Survive

(albüm: Best Of My Love - 2018)

At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And 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 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?
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'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'll 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 now 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'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 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'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!

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!

Ooh... yeah... I will survive!
