I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

Initially, I wanted to call a one-week break for Music Monday (as I didn't have any songs in mind that I want to post) , but I thought I dig through the songs that I have bookmarked anyway. So, I found today's song, "I Will Survive" , and I feel it's pretty pertinent:

"I Will Survive" through my JC years!

BTW, here's the song (the lyrics can be found below!) . Enjoy! (Note: The song's rather soft, so you may have to turn up the volume.)


Lyrics to 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
I grew strong
I learned how to get along

But now 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
As long as I know how to love
I know I will 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

I need the lord to give me strength not to fall apart
Though I tried 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

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 crush 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
And as long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I I I will survive

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 crush 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
And as long as I know how to love
I know I will 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

I need the lord to give me strength not to fall apart
Though I tried 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

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 crush 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
And as long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I will survive
I I I will survive
