I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor Lyrics - Singles - Gaynor Gloria

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 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 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 break 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 break 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
