Lyrics Me First And The Gimme Gimmes – I Will Survive

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 had known for just one second, you’d be 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
Did 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 will stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live and I’ve got all my love to give
And I’ll survive, I will survive

Hey, hey

And you see me somebody new
I’m not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping by and just expect me to be free
But I’m saving all my loving for someone who’s loving 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 break 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
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I will stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live and I’ve got all my love to give
And I’ll survive, I will survive

Hey
