Circle left
And so you're back, from outer space
I just walked in to find you with that sad look upon your face
Left allemande that corner lady and you dosado your own
Allemande left your corner and you weave around the ring
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now, 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

Heads square thru and count to four
You meet that corner lady, make a right hand star
Now the heads star left, roll it once around and go
Back to the corner, you're gonna slide thru you know
Square thru go three, three hands around
Swing the corner lady then you promenade
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
I will survive, (I will survive)

Sides face grand square
Oh, leave the Lord to give me strength, not to fall apart
Though 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
Four ladies chain, you turn that girl and chain her home
Turn your girl around and then you promenade along
So you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free
Well now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's lovin me

Sides face grand square
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now, 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..., Allemande left and weave
No, not I, I will survive
As long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
I will survive, I will survive
