I Survive

Lyrics

People tell me that I'm not as strong as I used to be If they don't see me around, you know, they think there's something wrong with me But I've been working hard Just to give myself a start And so many times, I put my head in my hands and pray Don't you know that I survive well enough to stay alive? But I never want to live through this again Nothing ever goes the way you want it to all the time If you got nothing, there's nothing to lose, so I don't look behind And I'll soldier on Just as long as I'm fit to fight I got a chip on my shoulder that won't let me lay down and die I survive well enough to stay alive But I never want to live through this again, oh no Day and night, always working overtime I'd give anything for just a little love I can't lay down and die (Lay down and die) Gonna reach for the sky I survive well enough to stay alive But I never, never ever want to go through this again Day and night, always working overtime I'd give anything for just a little love, oh I survive well enough to stay alive But I never, never ever want to go through this again (I survive) I survive (I survive) I really mean it, baby I've been walking, praying, looking for some love I survive
