Story Behind The Song
I only wish that in real life, I would be so strong. This is my ideal woman - finding that strength within. I think a lot of young women and women can relate to this song.
Song Description
She believed that her man would be faithful and of course he wasn't. But she finds strength within and decides that he will not win. She will survive him and go on to lead a happy life with a faithful man in her future. She takes the pain she feels and turns it into a positive thing by not letting him ruin her life.
She will smile again with another man - almost like a "I am woman - hear me roar!"

Lyrics
I'LL SURVIVE YOU
You told me you're a faithful man
I believed you. I believed you.
Your eyes meet mine
You looked so honest
As I heard you make your faithful promise
I believed you. Somehow, I believed you.
I'll survive you and I'll smile again
Just you watch - I'll be with another man
I'll survive you - wait and see
There is nothing more that you can do to me
You told me you're a faithful man
I believed you. I believed you.
SAXOPHONE INSTRUMENTAL
I'll survive you and I'll smile again
Just you watch - I'll be with another man
I'll survive you - wait and see
There is nothing more that you can do to me
I will survive you! Survive you!
I'll survive you and I'll smile again
Just you watch - I'll be with another man
I'll survive you - wait and see
There is nothing more that you can do
I'll survive you and I'll smile again
Just you watch - I'll be with another man
I'll survive you - wait and see
There is nothing more that you can do
There is nothing more that you can do
There is nothing more that you can do .. to me.
