I Will Survive

I Will Survive - Gladys Knight & The Pips

Free again

Independently me again

Back in circulation now

Time for celebration now

Time to have a party

A party

At firts I was afraid

I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you

By my side

I spent oh so many nights

Thinking how you did me wrong

But I grew strong

I learned how to get along

And so you're back

From out of 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 the key

If I'd known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door

Don't 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

For 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

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept trying hard to mend the pieces

Of my broken heart

I spent oh so many nights feeling sorry

For myself

I used to cry

But now I hold my head up high

Now you see me somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person

Still in love with you

So you felt like dropping in

And still expect me to be free

Well now I'm saving all my loving

For someone who's loving me

Go on now go

Walk out the door

Don't 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 for 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 this love to give

And I'll survive

I will survive

I will survive

Back in circulation now

Time for celebration now

Time to have a party

A party

Go on now go

Walk out the door

Don't 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

For 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 this love to give

And I'll survive

I will survive

I will survive

I'm free again
