At first I was afraid, I was petrified 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 so you're back from outta space 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 had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
* Go 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 Think I'd crumble? Think I'd lay down and die?
** Oh no not I, I'll survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give And 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 oh 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 Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
At first I was afraid, I was petrified 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 so you're back from outta space 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 had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
* Go 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 Think I'd crumble? Think I'd lay down and die?
** Oh no not I, I'll survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give And 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 oh 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 Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
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
I was afraid I was petrified Thinking I could never live without you by my side And I spent so many nights Thinking 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'da known for one second you'd be back to bother me
Chorus: Oh now go Walk out the door Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one that tried to hurt me with goodbye Did ya think I'd crumble Did 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 'cause I got all my life to live And I got all my love to give And I'll survive
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Took all the strength I had Not to fall apart Trying 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's still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in Thinking that I'd be free But now I'm saving all my loving For someone who's loving me

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, I I never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough And start heading for the door There's a very strange vibration Piercing me right to the core It says, "turn around you fool You know you love him more and more" Tell me why is it so Don't want to let you go
Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey
I never can say goodbye, oh no, I I never can say goodbye
I keep thinking that our problems Soon are all gonna work out But there's that same unhappy feeling And that anguish and that doubt It's that same old dizzy hang-up I can't do with you or without Tell me why is it so I don't want to let you go
Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, ooh Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy No, no, no, baby, hey, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no Please don't let me say goodbye I just cannot say goodbye
