'80 Megamedley

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

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 have 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 any more

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

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

And I'll survive, I will survive, hey-hey

I never can say goodbye, boy

Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey

I never can say goodbye, boy

Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, I

I never can say goodbye

Every time I think I've had enough

And start heading for the door

There's a very strange vibration

Piercing me right to the core

It says, "turn around you fool

You know you love him more and more"

Tell me why is it so

Don't want to let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy

Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, hey

I never can say goodbye, boy

Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey

Many years ago my dad said, "Sonny

Lady Luck may never come your way

If it's love you want or only money"

This is what my daddy used to say

"Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do it, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do it, do it yourself"

Waitin' around for someone who can help you

Oh, someone who can help you find your way

If you think there's no one you can turn to

There's someone just a lookin' glass away

Get yourself up, show the world you're alive

Count on number one if you wanna survive

If you disappear and you don't get breaks

You can make it happen 'cause you got what it takes

Luck isn't everything that rally matters

Do what you have to do to make things better

Get on your feet, hold your head up high

Make up your mind boy, do or die

Yeah, come on, pick yourself up

That's what you got to do now

Sister and brother gotta help one another

When you get where you're goin', don't forget about others

Pick yourself up and make a positive move

Yo, don't look back, get into the groove

Look at the problems face to face

If there's no good here, find a better place

I mean that

Yeah, pick yourself up

Ah, yeah

Come on, pick yourself up

You give me strength not to fall apart

No, I tried 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 droppin' in and just expect me to be free

But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Go on now, go, walk out the door

Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome any more

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

And I'll survive, I will survive, I will survive!

Your love gives me strength I had not to fall apart

No, I tried 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 droppin' in and just expect me to be free

I-I-I-I-I I will survive!

I-I-I-I-I I will survive!
