I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor

 

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'd 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?
You think I'd crumble?
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

 

Some disco for you today. I Will Survive was Gloria Gaynor's biggest hit. 1978. A real anthem.

 

It has been featured in many movies including Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
