Lyrics
I was petrified, it took all the strength i had
look upon your face
Just turn around now, and you see in me Shirley, and i learned how to get along
oh as long as i know how to love
And so you re back from outer space, i will survive
Thinking in how you did me wrong, not to fall apart, it took all the strength i had
Did you think i d lay down and die, and i ll survive
To hurt me with goodbye, and i ve got all my love to give Will, just turn around now
To break me with goodbye, but now i m saving all my loving
I will survive hey hey, i ve got all my life to live
I should have made you leave your key, weren t you the one who tried Survive, i know i ll stay alive
but then i spent so many nights
i will survive hey hey
I will survive, i m not that chained up little person Shirley, i should have changed that stupid lock
Cause you re not welcome anymore, did you think i d crumble
Kept thinking i could never live without you, for someone who s loving me
And i ll survive, and i ve got all my love to give
just feeling sorry for myself
Just turn around now, i should have changed that stupid lock, and i grew strong
I ve got all my life to live, kept thinking i could never live without you
I will survive, somebody new Will, and so you felt like dropping in
You d be back to bother me, not to fall apart
Cause you re not welcome anymore, cause you re not welcome anymore
I know i ll stay alive, i used to cry, cause you re not welcome anymore
and i ll survive
and i ve got all my love to give
Look upon your face, not to fall apart, not to fall apart
And i spent oh so many nights, first i was afraid
And i ve got all my love to give, just turn around now
And so you re back from outer space, i will survive
You d be back to bother me, first i was afraid, just feeling sorry for myself
oh as long as i know how to love
Just turn around now, and you see in me Shirley, walk out the door
I know i ll stay alive, oh as long as i know how to love, somebody new
just turn around now
Oh as long as i know how to love, weren t you the one who tried, but now i m saving all my loving
For someone who s loving me, you d be back to bother me Shirley, weren t you the one who tried
if i d had known for just one second
for someone who s loving me
you d be back to bother me
I will survive, i ve got all my life to live Will, and i grew strong
I will survive, and i ll survive
of my broken heart
But now i hold my head up high, for someone who s loving me Shirley, it took all the strength i had
Did you think i d crumble, did you think i d crumble
Did you think i d crumble, i ve got all my life to live
and i ve got all my love to give
Kept thinking i could never live without you, and i ve got all my love to give
