I'm Survive Lyrics - Singles - Boney Nem

Originally performed by Gloria Gaynor 

At 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 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'd've known for just one second you'd 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 I 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'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. Hey hey. 

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 

Just 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 so you feel like droppin' in 

And just expect me to be free, 

Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
