I will Survive

Gloria Gaynor

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.

So, you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me.
Do you think I'd 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.
And I've got all my love to give, and I'll 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.
I'm not that chained-up little person and still in love with you.
And so, you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free.
Well, now I'm saving all my loving' for someone who's loving me.

Go on now, go, walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
Cause you're not welcome anymore.
Oh no, not I, I will survive.
