At first I was afraidI was petrified
I kept thinking
I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd done me wrongAnd I grew strong
I learned how to get alongSo now you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
Without the look upon your face
I should have changed my f-ing lockI would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Oh now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymoreWeren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah
It took all the strength I hadJust not to fall apart
I'm 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 highAnd you see me
With somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with youAnd so you thought you'd just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving
For someone who's loving meOh now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will surviveAs long as I know how to love I know I'll be aliveI've got all my live to liveI've got all my love to giveI will surviveI will survive!Yeah, yeah
