    "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor (1978)

    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
    And 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
    Go on now, go, walk out the door
    Just turn around now
    'Cause you're not welcome anymore
    Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
    Do 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
    It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
    Kept trying 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 and still in love with you
    And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
    Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
    Go on 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 goodbye
    Do 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
    Oh
    Go on 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 goodbye
    Do 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

    lol It probably got picked up by Google. With Valentine's day nearly here, I bet a lot of people are looking for reminders of why they should be glad to be free and clear of their former loves. 

    Hey, Google people- join the site and add more songs! lol

  • Not a fan of Pink's music, but I love her.   "So What" is a good post-breakup song if you like her stuff.

    I feel the same way.  She has weird taste, a great voice and is likeable.

    P!nk is awesome. I don't usually listen to regular music but I do enjoy her music. (Censored of course)

    What is interesting is the guy she wrote this song about is now her husband and they have a few kids.  This post was edited by my2cents at February 10, 2019 10:44 PM MST

  • Yes, I love her husband. I  used to take my daughter to see him and the other MotoX guys when ever they were in town.

    "Dirge"

    I hate myself for loving you and the weakness that it showed
    You were just a painted face on a trip down to suicide road
    The stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel
    I hate myself for loving you and I'm glad the curtain fell.

    I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed
    And the mercy that you showed to me, whoever would have guessed
    I went out on Lower Broadway and I felt that place within
    That hollow place where martyrs weep and angels play with sin.

    Heard your songs of freedom and man forever stripped
    Acting out his folly while his back is being whipped
    Like a slave in orbit he's beaten 'til he's tame
    All for a moment's glory and it's a dirty, rotten shame.

    There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
    In this age of fiberglass I'm searching for a gem
    The crystall ball upon the wall hasn't shown me nothing yet
    I've paid the price of solitude but at least I'm out of debt.

    I can't recall a useful thing you ever did for me
    'Cept pat me on the back one time when I was on my knees
    We stared into each other's eyes 'till one of us would break
    No use to apologize, what difference would it make ?

    So sing your praise of progress and of the Doom Machine
    The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen
    Lady Luck who shines on me, will tell you where I'm at
    I hate myself for loving you but I should get over that.

    I don't even have answers for that. Just let that whole experience fester into a mental illness.
