Karaoké I Will Survive (live) Gladys Knight & The Pips

You know there are periods in one's life when

Just the thought of being alone is really devastating

However being alone does not

Necessarily mean being lonely

Better alone building a new and meaningful life than lonely living with someone with whom there is no trust

No understanding

No communication

No love, just

To survive

Free again

Independently me again

Back in circulation now

Time for celebration now

Time to have a party

A party

At first I was afraid

I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

I spent oh so many nights thinking how you did me wrong but I grew strong

Ah ha

And I learned how to get along

Wooh ooh hoo ooh ooh hoo

And 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 that stupid lock

I should've 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

Don't turn around now 'cos 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

For 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 and I'll survive

I will survive

I will survive

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart

I spent oh so many nights feeling sorry for myself

I used to cry but now I hold my head up high

Now you see me

Somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you

So you felt like dropping in and still expect me to be free

Hah

Well now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

Go on now, go

Wooh

Walk out the door

Don't turn around now 'cos 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 no no

I will survive

Oh for 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 this love to give and I'll survive

I will survive

I will survive

Back in circulation now

Time for celebration now

Time to have a party

A party

Go on now, go

Walk out the door

Don't turn around now 'cos 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

No 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 and I'll survive

I will survive

I will survive

I'm free again wooh
