I Will Survive Lyrics

Performed by Gloria Gaynor
Review The Song (13)

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 outer 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 on 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
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 (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
But now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to break 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
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 (oh)

Go on now go, walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to break 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
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...!

Grow Up! | Reviewer: Wise Male | 5/18/12

Did it ever occur to her that just because she was that "crazy, mixed up girl so in love with you", maybe he was never that into her. Maybe it was all love, kisses and romance to her; but simply a physical thing to him. Like many women, she started thinking of what color your dream house would be, and what color you were going to paint the baby's room; half way through the first date. She read her hopes and aspirations into the relationship, and then blamed him when it wasn't what she alone, expected it to be. Typical.

I Truly Love This Song! | Reviewer: Chi-Chi | 4/28/12

I so love this song. It gives all the women out there the courage to move on after some guy dumps her like a hot potato. People who know how to love will never be alone in life. There will always be family or friends who'd always be there for us especially in the saddest moments of our lives. Who knows... Being dumped could be a blessing in disguise... It might open doors for us to make us find somebody better. Love yourself... Love and Laughter!!!

My Creys | Reviewer: EveryonewholovesSherlock Johnson | 4/1/12

This song helps me whenever I think of Reichenbach. Bless Gloria Gaynor for her support in this desperate time of maximum creys and very little hope.

my ex brandon young | Reviewer: jasmine/jds | 9/18/11

i will survive is how my life went when i was engaged on june,17TH,2011. his name was brandon micheal lee young and i thought we were perfect until we moved in togeather. he was fine for the first week or so, until he started leaving messes, and leaving for 4 days or more at a time, and makin me sick, bringin people over i didnt know, and threats by him and his friends, i was so blinded that i couldnt see that he was useing me and coning me out of money. finnally i threw him out in the street, and said dont come back (along with alot of other words) so now ive been trying to survive in life and decided to take thngs slow.Im afraid still even today that im not gonna find my perfect love. but i know i have to keep tryin to fight for love in my life. cause no matter what happens its better to love (even if u get hurt), then to not love and not know what love is....

we will all survive | Reviewer: Katerina | 8/8/11

haha it seems that everybody who has commented on this song say that they've been through the similar situation. Luckily, my situation was never as bad as it could have been (like having a child from ur ex that cheated on u). But my story is that I fell for a guy that was a total sweet talker and he was very very good to me inititally. Everything seemed perfect, except that he was very poor and i was there to help him as much as I could. Some months later, he started communicating with me less and less and things just began to change and I was so in love with him and was so blinded by love that I was in complete denial that anything was going on. IN fact what was going on is that he started looking for somebody else while we were together and then when he found her that's when I found out. He was cheating on me for one month and my heart was crying for just as long if not more. You see, he made up his mind about me a long time ago, but he didn't want to let me in on it. HE didn't want to let me go until he found another. Crazy sh** that he'd do that I didn't even see, like I would give him my car one late evening to go somewhere and he actually went to see HER while I stayed at home and babysat his kids! Then I gave him rent money for a house that he "bought" but it was his friend's house who let him live there and i found out that his friend never got any of that money. I don't even know where my money went, but I don't even care anymore, because he did me so wrong and God will take care of that. I also made a website for his pathetic boxing career Dwayne Williams the Gladiator at wix.com and youtube page. I did too much for him, because I truly loved him and I wanted to help with his dream. But he never loved me, because simply you can't betray, deceive and lie to somebody like that, that you once loved. And his new girlfriend Shelby Murphy from University of Michigan is in for a big suprise. This man is a lier and he has no future to offer her or any other good woman. He uses and hates women. He even told Shelby that I was a "nobody" when we were together for 7 months and I did all that sh*t for him and his kids. Talk about having some respect for a person that supported you and loved you. At least he could have been honest with me considering that I made it clear to him that I was very honest and understanding. Yet he just had to put me through emotional hell that 5 months later, I still think about the heartache that he caused me. You live and learn and Gloria's song is a good representation of that.

Big memories | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/26/09

it was The New Year's Eve day, midnight at a pub in London. Suddenly this wonderful song started playing. It was the beggining of the 80s decade. I felt so sad at that time because I was fogotten by my last girlfriend. Then at the moment I was listening to that song it seemed as if I was going back to life again. Wonderful song, wonderful memories

Long ago | Reviewer: Gracie | 12/16/09

this song brings me good and bad memories, when my ex-husban left me, couldn't think of one thing i did wrong, but actually all i did was everything wrong being with him. now that i found some new that loves me and respect me, yea,i will survive.

I WILL SERVIVE | Reviewer: BERNADETTE ROACH | 2/4/09


Dear Sir/Madam
I liked the song because it brings back memories of girlpower against male shonvaistic pigs, we girls now have the upper hand not them men . Now we are not the weaker people they are ,the men who used to bully us now the shoes on the other foot, now we are stronger than the men, I say bring back girl power and see who's better the men or the women . see you soon


Your's Hopefully Miss Bernadette Anne Roach

this song is by far a great oldies song and brings up past relationship problems and how i felt sry for my self but i later realized that i was feeling sorry for my self cause i couldn't live with out that one person during that time and found out that it was her lose to leave me for a scumbag and later she apoligized and i accepted and she then fell for me again but i didn't want to hear it and sang the song in my head and told her to turn around and walk out the door and oh boy it felt good!
