At first I was afraid, I was petrified, kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong, and I grew strong, and I learned how to get along. And now you're back, from outer space. I just walked in to find you here with that bad look upon your face. I should've changed that stupid lock, I should've made you leave your key. If I'd have known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me. Girl, now girl, 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. 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'll survive. I lost the power to give me strength and not let me fall apart. I can't hide them in the pieces of my broken heart. Yeah, I spent 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 tender little person, still sweat for you. So you felt like dropping by, and you expected me to be free. Well, I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me. Oh no, walk out the door, just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to crush 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. I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give. And I'll survive, I'll survive. I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it. I'm not gonna stop, I'm gonna get stronger. I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it. I'm not gonna stop, I'm gonna get stronger. Are you listening? Now you know I took all of the strength that I had, not to fall apart. I kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart. But I will survive. Yeah, I took all the strength that I had, not to fall apart. I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart. I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry. But now I hold my head up high, and now you see me. Somebody there, another tender little person still in love with you. Oh, so you felt like stopping by and expected me to be free? Yeah, well I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me. Beat it. Get to stepping. Keep it moving. Get on down the road, alright? Weren't you the one trying to crush me with goodbyes? Did you think I'd crumble? Thought I'd lay down and die? Oh, no. This is me. Show no fear. I will. And I'll survive. I will survive. I will survive.
