verse1: at first i was afraid, i was petrified, thinkin how i was gonna live without you by my side, i spent so many nights, thinkin how i did u wrong, but now im stronger, i know how to get along chorus: but no now i, i will survive, just as long as i know how to love, im sure ill stay alive, i got all my life to live, i got all my love to give, i will survive, i will survive, ohh i dont know the words exactly but theyre not tht hard.
