At first I was afraidI 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
So 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'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
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'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 need all love you give me strength
Not to fall apart
Go out 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
And 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
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
And 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

起初我很担心
变得不知所措
一直在想 我身边没有了你的陪伴
一定活不下去
后来，我花了很多个夜晚
回想你是如何辜负了我
我变得坚强起来
学会了独立，
你又从外头回到了这里
我正好走进来，
发现了满脸愁容的你
我早该把门锁换了
我早该叫你把钥匙留下
如果我早知道
你会回来骚扰我的话
走吧现在！
滚到门外去
请你转身就现在
(因为)你已经不再受欢迎
你就是那个用分手来伤害我的家伙
难道是我搞砸了？
你以为我会坐以待毙？
喔！不，
我会活下去
一旦我学会如何去爱
我就能活下去
我会用一生好好过日子
我会用全部的爱去奉献
我会活下去
我会活下去
我用尽全身的力气
不让自己崩溃
竭尽全力艰难地修补我心的碎片
我花了太多夜晚
为自己感到难过
我曾经哭泣
但现在的我昂首阔步
你看到
我已脱胎换骨
我已不是那个被爱你而束缚的卑微女子
你感觉像趁虚而入
还希望我为你敞开大门
如今
我已把全部的爱都留给那个爱我的人
走吧现在！滚
到门外去
请你转身就现在
(因为)你已经不再受欢迎
你就是那个用分手来伤害我的家伙
难道是我搞砸了？
你以为我会坐以待毙？
喔！不
我会活下去
一旦我学会如何去爱
就能活下去
我会用一生好好过日子
我会用全部的爱去奉献
我会活下去
我会活下去
走吧现在！
滚到门外去
请你转身就现在
(因为)你已经不再受欢迎
你就是那个用分手
来伤害我的家伙
难道是我的错
你以为我会坐以待毙？
喔！不
我会活下去
一旦我学会如何去爱
我就能活下去
我会用一生好好过日子
我会用全部的爱去奉献
我会活下去
我会活下去
我会活下去
