Lyrics for Song: I Will Survive
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Gloria Gaynor
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
kept thinkinÂ’ I could never live
without you by my side, but then I
spent so many nights thinkinÂ’ 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 your face, I shouldÂ’ve
changed that stupid lock, I shouldÂ’ve
made you leave your key, if I had
known for just one second youÂ’d
be back to bother me,
Oh now go, walk out the door,
Just turn around now, cause
youÂ’re not welcome anymore,
WerenÂ’t you the one who tried
to break me with goodbye,
you'd think IÂ’d crumble, you'd
think IÂ’d lay down and die
Oh no not I, I will survive,
Oh as long as I know how
to love, I know IÂ’ll stay alive,
IÂ’ve got all my life to live;
IÂ’ve got all my love to give,
IÂ’ll survive, I will survive,
Hey, Hey!
(musical)
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart, just trying
hard to mend the pieces of
my broken heart, and I spent
oh so many nights just feelin'
sorry for myself, I used to cry,
but now I hold my head up high,
and you see me, somebody new,
IÂ’m not that chained up little
girl whos still in love with you,
and so you felt like droppinÂ’ in, and
just expect me to be free, but now
IÂ’m savinÂ’ all my lovinÂ’ for
someone whoÂ’s lovinÂ’ me
Oh now go, walk out the door,
just turn around now, cause
you're not welcome anymore,
werenÂ’t you the one who tried
to break me with goodbye,
you'd think IÂ’d crumble, you'd
think IÂ’d lay down and die,
Oh no not I, I will survive,
Oh as long as I know how
to love I know IÂ’ll stay alive,
IÂ’ve got all my life to live,
IÂ’ve got all my love to give,
IÂ’ll survive, I will survive...
Oohhhhhhhh. . .
Oh 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,
you'd think I'd crumble,
you'd 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'll survive, I will survive
I will survive!!!
