I will survive As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive I will survive I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you boy 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 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 But now I'm saving all my loving For someone who's loving me Go on now go Walk out the door Just turn around now boy 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried To hurt 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 I will survive Weren't you the one who tried Hurt me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no
