I will survive
Gloria Gaynor Nr.: 38
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 nightsthinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along But now 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 known for just one secondyou’d be 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? You think I’d crumble? 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, heyIt 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 felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free Well, now I’m saving all my lovin‘ for someone who’s loving meGo 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 break me with goodbye? You think I’d crumble? 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, Oh oh
