At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin´ I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights 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 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
Just turn around now
´Coz you´re not welcome anymore
Weren´t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I´d crumble?
Did you think I´d lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
For 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
I´ll survive
I will survive
Hey hey

(I, I will survive)
Hey hey
(I, I will survive)
Every day
(I, I will survive)
Oh yeah

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 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 still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now I´m savin´ all my lovin´ for someone who´s lovin´ me

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
You´re not welcome anymore
Weren´t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did 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
I´ll survive
I will survive
Hey hey

Go now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
´Coz you´re not welcome anymore
Weren´t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did 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
I´ll survive
I will survive
I will survive

(I, I will survive)
Hey
(I, I will survive)
Every day
(I, I will survive)
Yeah yeah

(I, I will survive)
Oh
(I, I will survive)
I will survive
(I, I will survive)

(I, I will survive)
I´ve got all my love to give
(I, I will survive)
I´ve got all my life to live
(I, I will survive)
My loving is not in vain, oh no

(I, I will survive)
I will survive
(I, I will survive)
I will survive
(I, I will survive)
Hey

(repeat to end)
