I WIll Survive
At first I was afraid,
I was petrified,
Kept thinking my students are so needy- I just want to hide!
But then I spent my summer nights just creating all the things we need... it's long
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And now it's WACK
From outer space,
I just keep thinking when summers over
What I'm going to have to face,
I should have spent more time relaxing
I should have gone wild and free
If I'd known for just one second
They'd be back to bother me.
Go on now go,
Don't be a bore,
Live it up now,
Cause soon you can't do that anymore,
Aren't they the ones who picked there nose and told me lies
Do you think I'd crumble?
Do you think I'd quit my job and die?
Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I have summer breaks
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I will survive
I will survive
Hey Hey!
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to remind myself
that they always grow close to my heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high.
And you'll see me
Teachin' something new
Cause 2 CrAzY Texas teachers
Understand me and you
And they make me realize
Summers time's for being free
Because before we know it
There's 22 kids needing me- me- me- me!!!!!!
Go on now go,
Don't be a bore,
Live it up now,
Cause soon you can't do that anymore,
Aren't they the ones who picked there nose and told me lies
Do you think I'd crumble?
Do you think I'd quit my job and die?
Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I have summer breaks
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I will survive
I will survive
