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 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 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?
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 strenght 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 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 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, 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 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,
I will survive,
