Diana Ross - I Will Survive lyrics
(This is dedicated to my girls)
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 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
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)
