I Will Survive

 I Will Survive

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 alonnnnng  (Ericka sustain so Bill can kick bass drum “123”)

 

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

 

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….. Band Stop!

 

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 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
