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 [bad word] anymore 
Weren`t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? 
Did you think I`d [bad word]  
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 [bad word] anymore 
Weren`t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? 
Did you think I`d [bad word]  
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 
Ooh

Go now, go walk out the door 
Just turn around now 
Coz you`re not [bad word] anymore 
Weren`t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? 
Did you think I`d [bad word]  
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
