Debbie Sims - I Will Survive Lyrics
At first I was afraid, I was petrifiedKept thinking I could never live without you by My sideBut then I spent so many nights thinking how you did Me wrongAnd I grew strongAnd I learned how to get alongAnd so you're back from outer spaceI just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your faceYou know, I should have changed that lockI should have made you leave your keyIf I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother MeChorus:Go on now, go walk out the doorJust turn around now'Cause you're not welcome anymoreWeren't you the one who tried to break Me with goodbye?Did you think I'd crumble?Did you think I'd lay down and die?No, Lord, not I, I will surviveFor as long as I know how to love,I know I'll stay aliveI've got all My life to liveAnd I've got all My love to giveAnd I'll survive; I will surviveIt took all the strength I had not to fall apartKept trying hard to mend the pieces of My broken heartAnd I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for MyselfI used to cry, but now I hold My head up highAnd you see Me, somebody newI'm not that chained up little person still in love with youAnd so you felt like dropping in and just expect Me to be freeFor now I'm saving all my true love for the Lord who's loving MeRepeat ChorusI will surviveAt first I was afraid, I was petrifiedKept thinking I could never live without you by My sideBut then I spent so many nights thinking how you did Me wrongAnd I grew strongAnd I learned how to get alongAnd you see Me, somebody newI'm not that chained up little person still in love with youAnd so you felt like dropping in and just expect Me to be freeFor now I'm saving all my sweet love for my God who's loving meRepeat Chorus and fade
