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

* Repeat

** Repeat

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind.
You were on my mind.
I got troubles, oh oh,
I got worries, oh oh.
I got wounds to bind.

So I walked to the corner
Just to ease my pain.
Just to ease my pain.
Now I got troubles, oh oh,
I got worries, oh oh,
But I came home again.

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind,
And you were on my mind.
I got troubles, oh oh,
I got worries, oh oh,
I got wounds to bind.

And I got a feeling
Deep down in my shoes,
Way down in my shoes.
Now I got to wander, oh oh,
I got to move on, oh oh,
I got to walk away these blues.

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind,
And you were on my mind.
I got troubles, oh oh,
I got worries, oh oh,
I got wounds to bind.
I got troubles, oh oh,
I got worries, oh oh.
