I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor
At first, I ________ afraid, I ________ petrified. ___________ thinkin’ I could never live Without you by my side, But then I ___________ so many nights Thinkin’ how you ___________ me wrong. And I ______________ strong And I ______________ how to get along.And so you’re back from outer space. I just ____________ in to find you here With that sad look upon your face. I should’ve changed that stupid lock, I should’ve made you leave your key, If I had known, for just one second, You’d be back to bother me. Well, now go! Walk out the door! Oh no, not I! I will survive! |
It ___________ all the strength I __________ Not to fall apart And trying hard to mend the pieces Of my broken heart.And I _____________, oh, so many nights Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry, But now I hold my head up high! And you’ll see me, somebody new, And so you __________ like droppin’ in
