You say you're leaving, you've 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 
Your friends have shown you a much better way 
All of my loving you baby, all of those years, ended today 
Yes, you go on darlin' 
I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive 
Go on! May God bless you 
It was fun. While it was fun 
Baby, I hate to lose you 
I say I hate to lose you baby 
It's all over! What's done is done 
Hey! you go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame 
All your good luck or bad luck 
Your friends must take the blame 
Oh! I can't beg you no more baby 
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive 
Oh, go on! May God bless you 
Oh, it was fun. While it was fun 
Oh baby, I hate to lose you 
I say I hate to lose you baby 
It's all over! What's done is done 
Hey! You go on baby, seek your fortune and fame 
All your good good luck or bad luck 
Friends must take the blame 
Oh! I can't beg you no more 
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive 
Oh! I'll, I'll survive 
Baby, I'll survive
