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,
And so you're back, from outer s***e,
I just walked in to find you here with
that sad look upon your face, I should've
changed that stupid lock, I should've
made you leave your key, if I had
known for just one second you'd
be back to bother me,
Oh 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,
I'll survive, I will survive,
Hey, Hey!
(musical)
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart, just trying
hard to mend the pieces of
my broken heart, and I spent
oh so many nights just feelin'
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, but now
I'm savin' all my lovin' for
someone who's lovin' me
Oh 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
ya think I'd crumble, did ya
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,
I'll survive, I will survive...
Oohhhhhhhh. . .
Oh now go, walk out the door
just turn around now, cause
you're not welcome anymore
