   I WILL SURVIVE

   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 ______ how to get along.
   So you're back, from outer space
   I just ______ in to find you here with that sad look upon your face,
   I should have ______ that stupid lock,
   I should have ______ you leave your key,
   If I'd ______ 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 ______ to hurt me with goodbyes,
   D' you Think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die?
   No, not I, I will survive...oh as long as I know how to love,
   I know I am still alive.
   I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give,
   I will survive, hey hey!
   It ______ all the strength I ______ not to fall apart,
   Now I am trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
   I ______ oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself,
   I ______ to cry, but now I hold my head up high,
   And you see me, somebody new..I am not that chained up
   little person still in love with you, and so you
   just ______ like dropping in and just expect me to be free,
   Now I am 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 who ______ to hurt me with goodbyes,
   D' you Think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die?
   No, not I, I will survive,..oh as long as I know how to love,
   I know I am still alive,
   I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give,
   I will survive, oh yeah!

SECOND SONG: "WOMAN"

You gotta be fortunate
You gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting here
Thinking good and bad
But I'm the kinda woman
That was built to last
They tried erasing me
But they couldn't wipe out my past
To save my child
I'd rather go hungry
I got all of Ethiopia
Inside of me
And my blood flows
Through every man
In this godless land
That delivered me
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see
This is a woman's world.
This is my world.
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl.
There ain't a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That can't deliver love
In a man's world.
I've born and I've bred.
I've cleaned and I've fed.
And for my healing wits
I've been called a witch.
I've crackled in the fire
And been called a liar.
I've died so many times
I'm only just coming to life.
My blood flows
Through every man and every child
In this godless land
That delivered me
I cried so many tears even the blind can see-'

Neneh Cherry - Woman (1996)
