I WILL SURVIVE
by Gloria Gayner


[Intro]




[Verse 1]

            
At first I was

              
 afraid, I was

 
 petrified,
              
Kept thinking 

             
I could never 

              
live without y

   
ou by my side.
           
But then I spe

            
nt so many nig

              
hts, thinking 


how you did me

 wrong,
           
And I grew str

            
ong; and I lea

     
rned how to ge

t along.

              
And so you're 

            
back, from out

   
er space,
              
I just walked 

             
in to find you

              
 here, with th

       
at sad look up

on your face.
              
I should have 


changed that s

tupid lock,
              
I should have 


made you leave

 your key,
         
If I had known

              
 for just one 

              
second, you'd 

   
be back to bot

her me.


[Chorus]

            
Go on now, go;

              
 walk out the 


door;
             
Just turn arou

              
nd now, 'cos y

          
ou're not welc


ome any more.
         
   Weren't you

              
 the one who t

        
ried to hurt m

e with goodbye

?
              
Did you think 

         
I'd crumble; d

              
id you think I

   
'd lay down an

d die?
            
Oh no, not I; 

          
I will survive

,
             
Oh, as long as

              
 I know how to

         
 love, I know 

I'll stay aliv

e.
         
I've got all m

              
y life to live

           
, I've got all


 my love to gi

ve,
            
And I'll survi

           
ve, I will sur
