At first I was afraid,
I was petrified
I kept thinkin' I could never live
without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinkin' how you'd done me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
without that look upon your face
I should have changed that fuckin' lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me
* Oh 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 desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
oh not i
I'll survive
as long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive. Hey, hey
It took all the strength I had
just not to fall apart
I'm tryin' hard
to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feelin' sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, with somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person
still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just drop by in
You expect me to be free
But now I'm savin' all my lovin'
for someone who's lovin' me
