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
