I WILL SURVIVE By Gloria Gaynor

be, can, change, die, feel, grow, know, have, keep, lay,  learn, make, walk,  spend, take, try, use

At first I ______ afraid; I ______ petrified,
______ thinking I ______ never live without you by my side,
But then I ______ so many nights thinking how you did me wrong,
And I ______ strong, and ______ how to get along.
So you're back, from outer space
I just ______ in to find you here with that sad look upon your face,
I should have ______ that stupid lock,
I should have ______ you leave your key,
If I'd ______ for just one second you'd be back to bother me,
Oh and now GO! Walk out the door! Just turn around now,
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who ______ to break me with goodbyes,
D' you Think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive...oh as long as I know how to love,
I know I am still alive.
I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give,
I will survive, hey hey!

It ______ all the strength I ______ not to fall apart,
Now I am trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
I ______ oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself,
I ______ to cry, but now I hold my head up high,
And you see me, somebody new..I am not that chained up
little person still in love with you, and so you
just ______ like dropping in and just expect me to be free,
Now I am saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Oh and now GO! Walk out the door! Just turn around now,
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who ______ to break me with goodbyes,
D' you Think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive,..oh as long as I know how to love,
I know I am still alive,
I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give,
I will survive, oh yeah!

Answer:

At first I was afraid; I 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 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,
Oh and 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 goodbyes,
D' you Think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive...oh as long as I know how to love,

I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give,

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,
Now I am trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
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 am not that chained up
little person still in love with you, and so you
just felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free,
