I Will Survive (the Aretha Version) Lyrics - Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics - Aretha Franklin

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 so 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 

Boy, 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 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 and I've got all my love to give 

And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey 

I will survive, 

Give me the strength I had not to fall apart 

Just 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 you see me (see me), somebody new 

I'm not that chained up little person still swept for 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 

Oh no, 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 

Oh, no, not 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 and I've got all my love to give 

And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey 

I will, I will 

I'm a survivor 

I'm gonna make it 

I'm not gonna stop 

I'm growing stronger 

I'm a survivor 

I'm gonna make it 

I'm not gonna stop 

I'm growing stronger 

I'm a survivor 

I'm not gone give up 

I'm not gone stop 

I'm gone work harder 

Are you listening? 

Now you know it took all og the strength I had not to fall apart 

I kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart 

But I will survive 

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart 

And 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 you'll see me, somebody new 

I'm not that chained up little person 

still in love with you 

And so you felt like droppin' in 

And just expect me to be free 

Now I'm savin' all my lovin' 

For someone who's lovin' me 

Get your step in 

Keep it moving 

Get on down the road 

Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye 

Do you think I'd crumble 

Do you think I'd lay down and die 

Oh no, oh no 

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 

And I'll survive, I'll survive 

Hey, hey
