Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song,
Woo, hoo, hoo, woo, hoo, hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
But remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light
(that's right)

And I'm already gone (I'm already gone)
And I'm feelin' strong (now I'm feelin' strong)
I will sing this vict'ry song,
Woo, hoo, hoo, woo, hoo, hoo

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
(oh baby)
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
Oh no

But me, I'm already gone (I'm already gone)
And I'm feelin' strong (now I'm feelin' strong)
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
'Cause I'm already gone
'Cause I'm already gone
