At first I was afraid I was petrified
thinkin' I could live without you by my side;
I've been spent in nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
I grew strong, I learned how to get along
Now you are back, from outer space
And I find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should't changed that stupid lock
I have made you leave your key
And I've know for a second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not.I. I will survive
Long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
I've got my life to live
And all my love to give and I'll survive,
I will survive.
It took all my strength not to fall apart
trying' with all my mind to mend my broken heart,
And I spent so many nights
feeling sorry for myself, how I cried
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody
new not that lonely little person who's still in love with you
Now you come droppin' in, expecting me to be free
But now I'm savin' my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
