Gloria Gayor I Will Survive Lyrics

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'd done me wrong
And I grew strong
I learned how to get along
So you're back
From outer s___e
I just walked in to find you here
Without that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I would have 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
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
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 be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will 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 see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droping 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
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my live to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive

Oh, go on now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my live to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
