And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going
Glee Cast · Glee - The Music, The Complete Season One CD Collection [2010]
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, oohh ooh mm mm
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 and
No, no, no, no, no, no
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning and finding that there's nobody there
And I mean 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
Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream, and shout like 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, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
Oh, 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
Ooh ooh love me, yaaa ya love me
Love me, love me, love me, love....
You're gonna love...... me
And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going
