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 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 be back to bother me

Oh, now go, walk out the door just turn around now
cause you' re not welcome any more
weren' t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
do you think I crumble, do you think I lay down and die

Oh, no not I, I' ll survive (and) for as long as I know how to love
I know I' m still alive, I' ve got all my life to live I' ve got all my love to give
and I' ll survive, I'll survive

You took all the strength I had not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent all 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 now you felt like dropping in and expect me to be free
now I' m saving all my loving for someone who' s loving me
