Gloria Gaynor Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.I Will Survive

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 I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known 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 tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
oh, as long as i know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken 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 see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me


I will survive Gloria Gaynor

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 I learn how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your
face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

*Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
(Cos) You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken 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 see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

3.Never Can Say Goodbye

I Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.
Even though the pain and heartache
seems to follow me wherever I go,
Though I try and try to hide my feelings,
they always seems to show,
Then you try to say you're leaving me
and I always have to say no,
tell me why is it so.
That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.
Everytime I think I've had enough
and start heading for the door,
There's a very strange vibration
piercing me right through the core,
It says, 'Turn around, you fool, you know you love him more and
more.'
Tell me why is it so.
Don't wanna let go.
Never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo baby.
Never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Oh, I never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo.
I never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.
I keep thinking that our propblems
soon are all gonna work out.
But there's that same unhappy feeling,
there's that anguish, there's that doubt.
It's the same old dizzy hangup,
can't do with you or without.
Tell me why is it so, don't wanna let you go.


4.Reach Out, I'll Be There

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and confort you...(tell me baby)
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

Now when you're lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold
and you're driftin' on your own
when you need a hand to hold
darling, reach out
reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there to with the love I'll see you through

I can tell you the way I hang your head
Now with out of love , now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found

I know what you're thinking
Witout love, now you're alone
Baby, reach out
Reach out for me

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the Love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and confort you
Tell me baby
I'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through.


5.Let Me Know(I Have A Right)

Written:Dino Fekaris/Freddie Perren

I get a little peck and you're off to bed
No warmth, no hug, no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, oh
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
Lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite
I'll take it, I'll make it
Ooh, yes, I will
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Listen, listen
I'm livin' each minute with all that I've got
Each breath is important, each heartbeat is hot
That's the way we were way back, you forgot [He forgot, he
forgot],
ooh
You leave me so empty, it's makin' me sad
To know that a good thing has turned for the bad
Both of us are here, but where's the love we had
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite
Let me know, let me know

(fade)
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite


6.Casanova Brown

Let me tell you 'bout that jive type
that jive type
Casanova Brown

I met him at a party
He said the sweetest things when he hit on me
Wrapped up in his arms
I was blinded by his charm and I couldn't see

Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, no

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown

I was lonely and naive
I guess that's why I believed every word he says
It felt so good to hear
Every time he said he cared it went straight to my head

He loved me and left me
But I can't deny
His love was so doggone good

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you, watch out
That jive type,that jive type, ooh
Casanova Brown
Let me tell you 'bout that jive type
that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type,
Casanova Brown

I was sittin' there mindin' my business
Feelin' good, checkin' things out
Then I spotted
Super cool dude cross the room diggin' on me
I tried to pretend like I didn't even see him
But he was so fine
He took my hand and started to dancin'
I know he felt me fallin' for him
'Cause he kept holdin' me tighter and tighter, ooh
Sure was nice
Girl, my head was all turned around, oh
I didn't know what I was gettin' into, ooh, ow

Up to no good, oh no

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown

Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, oh

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown


7.If You Want It Do It Yourself

Many years ago my dad said, 'Honey
Lady Luck may never come your way
If it's love you want not only money'
This is what my daddy used to say

Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Waitin' around for someone who can help you
Oh, someone who can help you find your way
Then if you think there's no one you can turn to
Well, there's someone just a lookin' glass away

Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Wishin' and hopin' for your fortune
Prayin' that you'll see your lucky day
If you're lookin' for some inspiration
This is what my daddy used to say

Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself


Do-do-do
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself


8.All I Need Is Your Good Loving

Precious darling you know you're my man
All you got to do is wave your hand
Yes, I cherish all you got to give
I don't need nothing' else to live

All I need is your sweet lovin'
All I want is to feel it comin'
All I need is your sweet lovin'
All I want is your love

Taste that honey flowin' from your lips
I start shakin' from your fingertips
???Glowin'??? steady, movin' right on time
Feel so warm in these arms of mine

All I need is your sweet lovin'
All I want is to feel it comin'
All I need is your sweet lovin'
All I want is your love

Now darlin' when I'm with you
Say it feels so good inside
It's just makin' love to you
I'm so satisfied

All I need is your sweet lovin'
All I want is to feel it comin'
All I need is your sweet lovin'
All I want is your love
Yeah, baby


9.Walk On By

You always said my eyes
Were the windows of my soul
You could always fill my love
And pain without been told
I never knew how, but I don't
Even dare to look at you now.

So, if you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we leave
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry, ooh baby,
Walk on by, ooh darling
Please, Walk on by,
I don't wanna you to see me cry
Walk on by, please, please
Baby, baby don't stop...

So, if you ever love
Look the other way
There is anything left to say
Anyway...

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goobye, ooh baby
Walk on by, ooh sugar
Walk on by...(baby, baby don't stop)

Baby, baby don't stop

Walk on by...ub..eh
Walk on by...
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by..uuh baby
Walk on by...uuh sugar
Walk on by... walk on by

I don't want to see me cry
Walk on by, walk on by...
All the tears that I have cry...
I don't have nothing left to say...
Please take your head... look the other way...
Wow...wow...wow...walk on by...
Walk on by....


10.We Can Start All Over Again

Now you say it's the end
Oh, but I think we can start over again
Just to think of the time
We were mellowed by spices of love

Let's not pretend
This can be the end of this love affair
We have all of the time in the world to live it again

Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again

As our hearts join one more time
Misunderstanding we could live behind
Don't you think it ain't true
I'm gonna keep on loving you

Let's not pretend
This can be the end of this love affair
We have all of the time in the world to live it again

Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again

Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again

With you out of my life I can't sleep at night
I climb the highest mountains, swim the deepest sea
To get to that love that belongS to me

As our hearts join one more time
Misunderstanding we could live behind
Don't you think it ain't true
I'm gonna keep on loving you

Baby we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again and again and again, baby

Now you say it's the end
Oh, but I think we can start over again
Just to think of the time
We were mellowed by spices of love

Let's not pretend
This can be the end of this love affair
We have all the time in the world to live it again

Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again


11.Let's Mend What's Been Broken

We started out with a new love
And we thought we had more control
And as it turned to an old love
Bad times started to unfold

Now I don't want to let you go
And I don't want it to ever end
So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken
Let's put it back together again
Ooh, we've got to

Let's mend what's been broken
You and me, me and you
Let's mend what's been broken
Ooh, yeah

Now I'm not ready for new love
'Cause you make my life so complete
And if there's any problem
I know we won't suffer deeply

'Cause I don't want to let you go
I don't want it to ever end
So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken
Let's put it back together again
Uh-huh, we've got to

Let's mend what's been broken
Me and you, you and me
Let's mend what's been broken
Ooh, yeah

Don't throw it all away
Let's keep this love in every way
Mend my heart, my achin' heart
The thought of a brand new start tears me all apart

The love we've got, don't let it end
We can put it back together again


You and me
I know our love has got to be
