Aretha Franklin I Will Survive Lyrics

I Will Survive Lyrics

At first I was afraid.
I was petrified.
I kept thinking I could never
live
Without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
Just
thinking how youd did me wrong.
I grew strong.
I learned how to get
along.
And so youre back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you
here
Without that look upon your face.
I should have changed that stupid
lock.
I should have made you leave your key
If Id have known for just one
second
Youd be back to bother me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the
door.
Just turn around now.
Cause youre not welcome anymore.
Werent
you the one
Who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think Id
crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh not I.

I will
survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know Ill be alive.
Ive got
all my life to live.
Ive got all my love to give.
And I will
survive.
I will survive.
Hey hey!

It took all the strength I
had
Not to fall apart.
Im 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 youll see me
somebody new.
Im not that chained up little person
Still in love with
you.
And so you felt like dropping in,
And you just expect me to be
free.
But now Im saving all my lovin
For someone whos lovin me.

Go
now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
Youre not welcome
anymore.
Werent you the one
Who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did
you think Id crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh not
I.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know Ill be
alive.
Ive got all my life to live.
Ive got all my love to give.
I
will survive.
I will survive
