Listening en inglés Canción I will survive

Listening en inglés: I will survive

At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' 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've known for just one second you'd 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.
Do 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 girl who's still in love with you,
And so you felt like droppin' in,
And just expect me to be free.
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me.

Go on now go, walk out the door.
Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye.
Do 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, you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Do 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......
