I Will Survive
DMX & STEPHANIE MARANO
LYRICS
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking that I could never
Live without you by my side
And I spent oh so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so your back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face
Should have changed that stupid lock
Should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Chorus:
So now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you ain't welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Thought I'd crumble
Though I'd lay down & die
Oh no I - I will survive
Yes as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive - I will survive
I will Survive
It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you'll see me with somebody new
I ain't that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm saving all my loving for someone whose loving me
Chorus (2x)
