There's no need for depression And no, I don't have the blues Wouldn't want to go to heaven If I can't go there with you And I still count my blessings When I am standing with you And no, I never learned my lesson I'm still a dedicated fool And baby, I will try for the sake of you and I And baby, I will get by on whatever you provide There's no need for guessing When you are faithfully true Though my body may wander My mind is always with you And in the depths of destruction There is but one golden rule Look not unto your neighbor Save yourself first, you silly fool And baby, I will try for the sake of you and I And baby, I will get by on whatever you provide And baby, I will survive all the heartbreak love inspires And baby, I will survive Oh, I will survive Pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, yeah Pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, yeah When you see me coming Take off your running shoes No arms and no weapons When I am coming for you And baby, I will try for the sake of you and I And baby, I will get by on whatever you provide And baby, I will survive all the heartbreak love inspires And baby, I will survive Oh, I will survive And baby, I will survive Oh, I will survive And baby, I will survive I will survive
