Ross, Diana - I Will Survive Lyrics






(This is dedicated to my girls)

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights Just 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 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
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbyes?
you think I'd crumble?
you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey

(I, I will survive)
Hey hey
(I, I will survive)
Every day
(I, I will survive)
Oh yeah

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just 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 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 break me with goodbyes?
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
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey

Go now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Coz 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
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive

    ALTHOUGH I COMMENTED AS BELOW, DIANE SHE IS REAL A QUEEN

  67. M.... E....

    THIS SONG WRITTEN FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED PEOPLE IN DISUNITED STATE OF AMERICA.
    NOT FOR THESE!!

    M.... E....

    You are NOT one of the songwriters so shut your bigoted mouth. *It is people like you why America remains DISUNITED.*

    M.... E....

    Kumtekmeon It was never written as a gay song, it just got “ claimed” by the LGBTQi , here in the UK too. This song could apply to any kind of broken relationship, gay or straight.

  68. E.... L....

    🌹🌹🌹

  69. �.... �....

  71. M.... L....

    charming

  72. T.... N....

    I hate her because she betrayed Michael and she took advantage of him..She knew that he loved her so much

  73. A.... S....

    You rock 🤘 Diana. Too good, too amazing. I don't tire of watching this video n hearing you sing.

  74. M.... D....

  81. T.... C....

    Never knew Ross or Rue did a cover of this. Wonderful!

  82. J.... H....

    Still the best Diva to date

  83. M.... R....

    Diana is the real LGBT queen. But young queers still insist on worshipping young 'divas' that don't give an f about the community

    M.... R....

    Naturally. After all Diana was the artist who released "I'm Coming Out".

    M.... R....

    She the originator he started the movement genuinely

    M.... R....

    Diana, Tina, Bassey, Dolly...

  84. B.... H....

    I will survive... I'm still waiting for you Diana Ross...

    B.... H....

    How nice you're still waiting. Don't know when the last time you saw her was, but know that aint no mountain high enough. Reach out and touch until then. :)

  85. B.... N....

    Disco music is the best for exercising.

  86. L.... W....

    Love her!

  87. L.... B....

    soo beautiful! Thank you!

  88. V.... A....

    My favorite song at the time especially regarding George

  89. T.... E....

    Diana Ross is the biggest diva in America!

  90. A.... A....

    Diana Ross got Pregnant by Smokey Robinson, and they gave their Baby Michael to the Jackson's.

    A.... A....

    Anlad you don't know Smokey and Diana knew each other since Diana was 8, they live on the same street. Diana Ross is Billie Jean, MJ's real Mother, it do n't matter what you think, i'm right and I can prove it.

    A.... A....

    I'm curious then. How can you prove it? Another question for you. The Jacksons were signed onto Motown in 1968. The Jacksons were from Gary, Indiana whereas Diana, Smokey and Berry were in Detroit , Michigan. How did Diana and Smokey know Joe Jackson when the Jacksons weren't signed onto Motown until 10 years later?

    A.... A....

    Anlad Hi I went to the store but i'm back. Berry Gordy and Joe Jackson know eachother from Boxing, then from Chess Records in Chicago. I have so much, but Diana Ross was in MJ's Will, but Diana did not go to MJ's Memorial. Diana had to go on every level, but Diana the real Mother could not deal with the Memorial. Go to my page look at the playlist called My Story, watch Diana in the first 2 videos.

    A.... A....

    Pls get serious!

    A.... A....

    An American Scheme She had a baby with Berry Gordy, but it was a daughter, her first child Rhonda and she was raised by Diana’s first husband.

  91. L.... M....

    Beautiful lady , Diana

  92. J.... A....

    Is that Rupaul on Diana's music video?

  93. F.... N....

    Hey hey hey hey

  94. A.... ....

    the little edie's in the front make me so happy

  95. 3.... R....

    Like your version better than the original
    I like the breakdown vocal~

    3.... R....

    oh hell no bitch. this is shit compared to the original.
