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 i learned how to get along

so now 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 be 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 you think i´d 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
i will survive
i will survive
hey hey

[song stops here on siberry version -- doesn´t include this next verse]

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

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 you think i´d 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
i will survive
i will survive
hey hey
