I Will Survive

--Gloria Gaynor

(Dino Fekaris & Freddie Perren)

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 learn 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've known for just one second you'd back to bother me

Go on now, go walk out the door

Go on now, go walk out the door

Go on now, go walk out the door

Go on now, go walk out the door

Just turn around now

Just turn around now

Just turn around now

Just turn around now

('cause) you're not welcome anymore

('cause) you're not welcome anymore

('cause) you're not welcome anymore

('cause) you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Did I crumble

Did I crumble

Did I crumble

Did I crumble

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not.I. I will survive

Oh no, not.I. I will survive

Oh no, not.I. 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;

Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;

Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;

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 life to live,

I've got all my life to live,

I've got all my life to live,

I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,

I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,

I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,

I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,

I will survive.

I will survive.

I will survive.

I will survive.

I will survive.

I will survive.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,

Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,

And I spent oh so many nights

And I spent oh so many nights

Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry

Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry

But now I hold my head up high

But now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new

And you see me somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,

I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,

And so you feel like droppin' in

And so you feel like droppin' in

And just expect me to be free,

And just expect me to be free,

Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
