I Will Survive

Intro

 At first I was afraid, I was petrified

 Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side

 But then I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong

 And I grew strong and I learned how to get along

Verse 1

 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 be back to bother me

Pre-Chorus

 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?

Chorus

 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, and I've got all my love to give

 And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey

String Solo

Verse 2

 It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

 Just tryin' 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 droppin' in and just expect me to be free

 Now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Pre-Chorus

 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?

Chorus

 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, and I've got all my love to give

 And I'll survive, I will survive, oh

Pre-Chorus

 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?

Chorus

 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, and I've got all my love to give

 And I'll survive, I will survive, I will survive
