You like to think That you′re the only one who understands my needs And you tell everyone That I can′t live without you even for one day But who gave you the right To talk about the way I feel so deep inside Now I realize You were never mine We were never right Baby you will find I will survive I in gonna make it through Just give me time I will get over you I will survive No matter what you do Just wait and see I will get over you Cause Baby I will survive What makes you think That I don′t see the ways you made a fool of me Don′t laugh behind my back Cause what goes around I promise you comes back
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
Chorus: 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
