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 learned how to get along
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 had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
′Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
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′ve got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I′ll survive
I will survive! Hey, Hey!
It took all strength I hadnot to fall apart
Kept 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 high
And you see me, somebody new
I′m not that chained up little girl who's still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm saving all my lovin′ for someone who′s loving me
Go on now, go walk out the door
'Cause you′re not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye
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've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I′ll survive
Go on now, go walk out the door
′Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren′t you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye
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′ve got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept 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 high
And you see me, somebody new
I′m not that chained up little person who's still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
Now I′m saving all my lovin' for someone who′s loving me
Go on now, go walk out the door
'Cause you′re not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye
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've got all my life to live
