I will survive
par Johnny Mathis

At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin´ I could never live
without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin´ how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learnt 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´d´ve known for just one second
you´d 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
Did 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 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
And you see me somebody new
I´m not that chained up little person
still in love with you,
And so you feel like droppin´ in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I´m savin´ all my lovin´
for someone who´s lovin´ me
Go on now...
Kept thinkin´ I could never live
without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin´ how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learnt 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´d´ve known for just one second
you´d 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
Did 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 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
And you see me somebody new
I´m not that chained up little person
still in love with you,
And so you feel like droppin´ in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I´m savin´ all my lovin´
for someone who´s lovin´ me
Go on now...
