Gloria Geynor I Will Survive Lyrics

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, I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer s___e
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 know 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 I 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 peices
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 feel 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
Did I 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
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 I 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
