Aretha Franklin I'll Survive Lyrics

At first I was afraid I was pertrified
kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
and I grew strong and
I learned how to get along

and your so your back
from outer s___e
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 known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

oh now go
walk out the door
just turn around now 'cause your not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye's
you think I'd crumble
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'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 o-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 felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving 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 break me with goodbye's,
you think I crumble
you think I'd lay down and die

o-no not I
I will survive
for as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I 'll survive, I will survive

oh not no,
walk out the door
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye's,
you think I crumble
you think I'd lay down and die

oh no not I
I will survive
for as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I 'll survive, I will survive
I wil survive...
