At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never work without you by my side;
But then I spent so many hours
Correcting what you had done 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 smug look upon your face
I should have nicked your company car
I should have doctored your CV
If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to work with me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now ('cause) you're not needed anymore
Weren't you the one who tried, to sack me in July
Did I crumble
D'ya think I'd quietly resign?

Oh no, not.I.
I will survive
Oh as long as I know that you are gone my new career will thrive;
I've got all my work to do
And now I have to do yours too, But I'll survive
I will survive.

Hey hey.

It took all the strength I had not to leave with you
Kept trying' hard to find some other job that we could do,
I spent oh so many days
Just sat here staring into space.
I used to skive
But now I'm working nine to five
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that lazy good for nothing who would crawl to you,
And now you can't just walk on in
And start to tell me what to do,
Because I got that promotion, and now I'm in charge of you!

Go on now.. etc.
