I Will Survive (original acappella) Songtext
von Chantay Savage

Oh, I, I will survive
As long as I know how to love, I know I′ll stay alive
'Cause I′ve got all, all my life to live, and I've got so much love to give
I'll survive, I′ll survive, I will, I will survive

Weren′t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Weren′t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
I will, I will, I will survive

I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinkin′ I could never live without you by my side
And now I've spent so many nights thinkin′ how you did me wrong
But I grew strong, I learned how to get along

So you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should've changed all the locks, I should′ve made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second, you′d be back to bother me


Oh, 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 (I will survive)
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I′ll stay alive
'Cause I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give
And I will survive, I will survive

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

Took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Tryin′ hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent so many nights 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 that still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in and thinkin′ that I would be free
But now I'm savin′ all my lovin' for someone who′s lovin' me

Oh, now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you′re not welcome anymore, no
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 (I will survive)
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
′Cause I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give
And I will survive, yes, I will, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you wanna know
Do I need you? No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
I will, I will, I will, I will survive

So long, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye
So long, bye, bye, bye, bye

I will, I will, I will survive
I will, I will, I will survive
