I WILL SURIVE
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You like to think
That you're the only one
Who understands my needs
And you tell everyone
That I can't live without you
Even for one day
But who gave you the right
To talk about the way
I feel so deep inside?
Now I realize
You were never mine
We were never right
Baby you will find

I will survive
I'm gonna make it through
Just give me time
I will get over you
I will survive
No matter what you do
Just wait and see
I will get over you
'Cause baby I will survive
'Cause baby I will survive

What makes you think
That I don't see the ways
You made a fool of me?
Don't laugh behind my back
'Cause what goes around
I promise you comes back
Now I realize
You were never mine
We were never right
Baby you will find

I will survive (oh yeah)
I'm gonna make it through
Just give me time (just give me time)
I will get over you
I will survive (I will survive)
No matter what you do
Just wait and see
I will get over you
'Cause baby I will survive

I will survive
I'm gonna make it through
Just give me time
I will get over you
I will survive
No matter what you do
Just wait and see
I will get over you

I will survive (I will survive)
I'm gonna make it through
Just give me time
I will get over you
I will survive
No matter what you do (no matter what you do)
Just wait and see
I will get over you

I will survive
I will survive
I'm gonna make it through
I will survive, yeah
I will get over you

What a blast from the past! I found out I was pregnant with my son, and had always loved Enrique's music, the dad decided I was on my own and this song was like my anthem my own little anthem!

Jeremy Wong

Bet your son has grown to become a sophisticated strong young man if he had grown up around a mom with that mentality 💪

How is he

Emma Walters

@Sadan Gani He's amazing. In his 2nd year of college doing joinery. He's is strong, independent, funny and a million other things. After I had him, I was on my own for a while but ended up dating someone I'd been friends with for some time. We ended up having a daughter. My son chose to start calling him dad. a few years later the bio dad decided he wanted to see my son, I let him as I didnt think it would be right to withhold him. He's never once called him dad and refers to him by his first name and he sees him 5-6 times a year, but if u ask my son he says he wouldn't have things any other way and thinks he couldn't have asked for a better dad than my partner! He's told me the bio dad has said a few times that he knows he f*cked up and regrets his choice every day whereas I have zero regrets and wouldn't change a thing! Thank you for asking!!!

Sadan Gani

@Emma Walters I am really happy for you, the way you handled this is really inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
