First I was afraid, I was petrified,
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along.

And so you're back from out of space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look up on your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second, you'd back to bother me

Oh, 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
Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, that 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,
I've got all my love to give

And I'll survive, I will survive.

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 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 now you felt like droppin' in

And expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Oh, 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
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

And I'll survive, I will survive.

Yeah, yeah,
