I Will Survive

I Will Survive - Lonnie Gordon

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 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 have known for just one second you'd 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 hurt me with goodbye

Did I crumble

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

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 feel like dropping in

And just expect me to be free

Now I'm saving all my lovin' 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 hurt me with goodbye

Did I crumble

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

You're not welcome anymore

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

Did I crumble

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
