|
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 nights |
|
Thinking how you did me wrong |
|
And I grew strong |
|
And I learned how to get along |
|
And 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've known for just one second you'd 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 |
|
Do 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 |
|
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive |
|
I will survive, Hey hey |
|
It 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 girl who's still in love with you |
|
And so you felt like dropping in |
|
And just expect me to be free |
|
Now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me |
