I Will Survive

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
without that look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had 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
think I'd crumble think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
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 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 dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
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 tried to break me with goodbye,
think I'd crumble,
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
I'll survive
I will survive

Never Can Say Goodbye

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

Ev'ry 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 I don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye boy
I never can say goodbye no no no I
I never can say goodbye

I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feelin'
There's that anguish there's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up I can't do with you or without

Tell me why is it so I don't wanna let you go
. . .

Walk On By

If you see me walkin' down the street and I start to cry
Each time we meet
walk on by
walk on by.
Make believe that you don't see the tears

Just let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see you

I break down and cry
walk on by
don't stop

Walk on by
don't stop
walk on by.

I just can't get over losin' you and so if I seem broken and blut
Walk on by
walk on by
foolish pride

That's all that I have left
so let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said good bye
walk on by
don't stop

Walk on by
don't stop
walk on by.

I Am What I Am

I am what I am - I am my own special creation.
So come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation.
It’s my world
That I want to have a little pride in - my word,
And it’s not a place I have to hide in
Life’s not worth a damn, ‘til you can say:
„I am what I am"

I am what I am, I don’t want praise
I don’t want pity - I bang my own drum,
some think it’s noise, I think it’s pretty.
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle,
Why not try and see things from a diff’rent angel?
Your life is a sham, ‘til you can shout out:
„I am what I am"

I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck - sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
It’s one life and there’s no return and no deposit:
One life, so it’s time to open up your closet.
Life’s not worth a damn ‘til you can shout out:
„I am what I am"

I am what I am, am what I am needs no excuses.
I deal my own deck - sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
It’s one life, and there’s no return and no deposit:
One life, so it’s time to open up your closet:
Life’s not worth a damn ‘til you can shout out:
„I am what I am"

I am, I am, I am useful, I am, I am, I am, I am true.
I am, I am somebody. I am a good and new. Yes I am what I am!

Reach Out I'll Be There

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and confort you...(tell me baby)
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

Now when you're lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold
and you're driftin' on your own
when you need a hand to hold
darling, reach out
reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there to with the love I'll see you through

I can tell you the way I hang your head
Now with out of love , now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found

I know what you're thinking
Witout love, now you're alone
Baby, reach out
Reach out for me

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the Love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and confort you
Tell me baby
I'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

Casanova Brown

Let me tell you 'bout that jive type
that jive type
Casanova Brown

I met him at a party
He said the sweetest things when he hit on me
Wrapped up in his arms
I was blinded by his charm and I couldn't see

Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, no

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown

I was lonely and naive
I guess that's why I believed every word he says
It felt so good to hear
Every time he said he cared it went straight to my head

He loved me and left me
But I can't deny
His love was so doggone good
I still, I still love that guy, ooh, [oh no] hey

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you, watch out
That jive type,that jive type, ooh
Casanova Brown
Let me tell you 'bout that jive type
that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type,
Casanova Brown

I was sittin' there mindin' my business
Feelin' good, checkin' things out
Sippin' on little wine [jive type, that jive type]
Then I spotted
Super cool dude cross the room diggin' on me
I tried to pretend like I didn't even see him
But he was so fine
He took my hand and started to dancin'
I know he felt me fallin' for him
'Cause he kept holdin' me tighter and tighter, ooh
Sure was nice
Girl, my head was all turned around, oh
I didn't know what I was gettin' into, ooh, ow

Up to no good, oh no

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown

Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, oh

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown

Let Me Know

I get a little peck and you're after to bed
No warmth, no hug, no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, oh
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
Lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it, I'll make it
Ooh, yes, I will
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Listen, listen

I'm livin' each minute with all that I've got
Each breath is in pardon, each heartbeat is hot
That's the way we were way back, you forgot [He forgot, he forgot], ooh
You leave me so empty, it's makin' me sad
To know that our good thing has turned for the bad
Both of us are here, but where's the love we had

Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it
Heaven knows I'll make it

I get a little peck and you're after to bed
No warmth, no hug, and no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, listen
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
Lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind, listen

I get a little peck and you're after to bed
No warmth, no hug, no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, oh
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
But lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind

I'll take it, I'll make it
You know I will, you know I will

I'll take it, I'll make it
You know I will, you know I will
Oh, yes, I will

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love, ooh, have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

Let me know, I've got to know, I have a right
Before you touch me and, oh, touch me right
Have I won your love, I don't wanna lose the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face and don't try to be polite, hoo

Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know, I've got a right
I got to plan my future, my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'm still yours

Been a lot of places
And met a lot of guys
One didn't have curly hair
And one had pretty eyes
But I don't know whats wrong with me
I couldn't seem to care
I just could not accept the love
They offered me to share

And I'm still yours
I'm still yours

I never thought when we broke up
That you'd be haunting me
I thought that when you let me go
That I would just be free
But I cant seem to tell my heart
I can't make it understand
There may be someone else for me
You're not the only man

And I'm still yours
I'm still yours

Oooh I'm like a slave
Who's master
Cause he no longer reigns
Although your gone
My heart and my mind
Are still walked by your chain
If you can't leave my heart alone
And stop toying with my soul
Then please come back
You've got my life to mold
To have, to hold

And I'm still yours
I'm still yours

I will always be your baby
