"I Will Survive" is a hit song first performed by American Singer Gloria Gaynor, released in October 1978. It was written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris. A top-selling song after its initial release, it has remained a popular disco anthem, as well as being certified platinum by the RIAA.

The song's lyrics describe the narrator's discovery of personal strength following an initially devastating breakup. It received heavy airplay in 1979, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the UK Singles Chart on consecutive weeks. The song is also frequently recalled as a symbol of female strength and as a gay anthem. In 2016, the Library of Congress deemed Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side

Then I spent so many nights

Just thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned 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 yourface

I should have changed that 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

'Coz you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I, I will survive

For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give

I'll survive

I will survive

Hey hey

(I, I will survive)

Hey hey

(I, I will survive)

Every day

(I, I will survive)

Oh yeah

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Just 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

But now I'm savin' all my lovin'

for someone who's lovin' me

Go on now, go walk out the door

Just turn around now

You're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd 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

And I've got all my love to give

I'll survive

I will survive

Hey hey

Go now, go walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Coz you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd 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

And I've got all my love to give

I'll survive

I will survive

I will survive

(I, I will survive)

Hey

(I, I will survive)

Every day

(I, I will survive)

Yeah yeah

(I, I will survive)

Oh

(I, I will survive)

I will survive

(I, I will survive)

(I, I will survive)

I've got all my love to give

(I, I will survive)

I've got all my life to live

(I, I will survive)

My loving is not in vain, oh no

(I, I will survive)

I will survive

(I, I will survive)

I will survive

(I, I will survive)

Hey

(repeat to end).

All through the night

I'll be awake

And I'll be with you

All through the night

This precious time

When time is new

Oh, all through the night today

Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past, we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends, there is no end

All through the night

Stray cat is crying

So stray cat sings back

All through the night

They have forgotten

What binding they lack

Oh, under those white street lamps

There is a little chance they may see

We have no past, we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends, there is no end

Oh, the sleep in your eyes is enough

Let me be there, let me stay there a while

We have no past, we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends, there is no end

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends, there is no end

CHUCK BERRY

GENRE: ROCKABILLY

YEAR: 1964

"Nadine" (also known as "Nadine (Is It You?)") is a song written and performed by Chuck Berry. It was released as a single in February 1964 and was the first music that Berry released after finishing a prison term in October 1963.

I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat

I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street

I shouted to the driver hey conductor, you must slow down

I think I see her please let me off this bus

Nadine, honey is that you?

Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?

Seems like every time I see you Darling

You got something else to do

Seems like every time I catch you

Datcha you're up to something new

I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back

And started walkin' toward a coffee colored cadillac

I was pushin' through the crowd to get to where she's at

And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat

Downtown searching for her, looking all around

Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town

I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab

With a twenty dollar bill, told him 'catch that yellow cab

She move around like a wave of summer breeze

Go, driver, go, go, catch her balmy breeze

Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier

Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear
