I Will Survive Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

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 just 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 you're face 

I should have changed that stupid lock 

I should have made 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 goodbyes 

Do you think I'd crumble? 

Do 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 will survive 

I will survive 

Hey Hey! 

It took all the strength I had 

Photos 

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 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 break me with goodbye? 

Did you 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 

I will survive 

I will survive 

oh 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 goodbyes 

Did you think I'd crumble did you think I lay down and die oh no not I I will survive Oh s long as I know how to love I know I will be in live
