I will survive

First I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never livewithout you by my side
But I spent so many nightsthinking how you did me wrong
I grew strongI learned how to carry onand

So you're backfrom outer space
I just walked in to find you herewith that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my 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
Just turn around now'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die

Oh no, not I
I will surviveas
long as i know how to loveI know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to giveand
I'll surviveI will survive
hey hey

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apartkept trying hard to mendthe pieces of my broken heartand
I spent oh so many nightsjust feeling sorry for myse
lfI used to cry
Now I hold my head up highand

You see mesomebody new
I'm not that chained up little personstill in love with you
and so you felt like dropping inand just expect me to be freenow
I'm saving all my lovingfor someone who's loving me
