Awwww, you guys are so sweet
I've been trying to relax by listening to the oldies station. Gloria Gaynor has just finished belting out "I will Survive"… were my ears deceiving me or have the lyrics really changed?
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without those teeth inside
But I spent so many nights
thinking how they did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and now I'm here
in that special place
I'll walk in to find the dentist there
with bravery upon my face
I should have had them yanked before
I should have done it when I was young
If I had known for just one second
I'd be about to burst a lung.
Go on now go - walk out the door
can't turn around now
'cause they're just not welcome anymore
I'll put aside my fears, I promise not to cry
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as I get drugs
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my floss to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
It'll take all the strength I have
not to fall apart
to do my best to stay calm
and not let out a nervous fart
oh I've spent so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you'll see me
somebody new
I'm not that freaked out little person
still afraid of you
and I'll survive
I will survive!
