Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You say you're leaving, you shattered my dreams
All of our plans, dear, forgotten, it seems
Yes, it had to happen, I'm not surprised
But I'll, I'll survive
[Verse 2]
Your friends have showed you a much better way
All of my years of loving you ending today
Yes, you go on, darling, I'll dry my eyes
But I'll, I'll survive
[Verse 3]
Go on, may God bless you
It was fun while it was fun
Have fun, baby, I hate to lose you
It's all over, what's done is done
[Verse 4]
Yes, go on, darling, seek your fortune and fame
Yes, your good luck or bad luck, baby
Your friends must take the blame
Oh, I can't beg you, baby, I've got too much pride
But I'll, I'll survive
[Verse 5]
Oh, I'll, I'll survive
