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 just thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along And so you're back From outer space, I just walked in to find you here With that sad look upon you're face, I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made leave your key, If I'd 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 goodbyes Do you think I'd crumble? Do 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 And I will survive I will survive Hey Hey! 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'll see me Somebody new I'm not that chained up little person Still in love with you And so you felt like dropping in And just expect me to be free But now I'm saving all my lovin' For someone who's lovin' 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 break me with goodbye? Did you I 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 will survive I will survive Hey hey!
