Kept thinking I could never live
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
and I learned how to get along
And saw your back from out of 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
you'd be back to bother me
Oh now go, walk out the door,
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried
if you think I lay down and die,
Oh, as long as I know how to love,
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
It took all the strength I had
The trying hard to mend the pieces
And I've been oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
but now I hold my head up high and you see me
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
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried
to break me with these vines?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, you think that I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to
You think I should rumble?
You think I should lay down and die?
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
and I learned how to get along
So you're back from out of 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
You'd be back to bother me
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Well, you're the one who tried
You think I can lay down and die
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
Kept trying to watch them
in the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
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 lovin'
for someone who's lovin' me
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt
Did you think I'd crumble?
Oh, did you think I'd break down and die?
Oh, as long as I know how to love,
I've got all my life to live.
And I've got all my love to give.
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried
To break me with goodbyes?
You think I'd lay down and die
Oh as long as I know how to love
I've got all my life to live
I've got so much love to give
Oh now go, walk out the door,
Weren't you the one who tried
to break me with your lies?
you think I lay down and die?
Oh, no, Lord, I, I will survive
Oh, in the long end, I know how to love
I've got all my life to live
I've got so much love to give
