And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going [Jennifer H]
Dreamgirls Soundtrack · Dreamgirls [Deluxe Soundtrack] [2006]
And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying
I'm staying
And you, and you
You're gonna love me,
You're gonna love me
And I am telling you
I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, there's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time, we've had so much to share
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
and finding that there's nobody there
Darling there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see there's just no way, there's no way
Please don't crawl away from me
Stay with me,
Stay with me
Stay, stand and hold me ah, ah, ah, yeah
Stay, stand and hold me
Please stay and hold me
Mister Man, try mister
Try mister I know, I know, I know
you can
Tear down the mountain
Yell, scream, and shout
you can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stop all the rivers
push, strike, and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will
And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever, ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you, not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me
You're gonna love me,
Yes you are, yes you are
Love me, love me, love me, love...
You're gonna love... me!
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying
I'm staying
And you, and you
You're gonna love me,
You're gonna love me
And I am telling you
I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, there's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time, we've had so much to share
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
and finding that there's nobody there
Darling there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see there's just no way, there's no way
Please don't crawl away from me
Stay with me,
Stay with me
Stay, stand and hold me ah, ah, ah, yeah
Stay, stand and hold me
