And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going Lyrics

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 want to be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, you're gonna love me
Oh, 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 go away from me
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay, stay and hold me, ah, yeah
Stay, stay and hold me, ooh

Please stay and hold me, Mr. Man
Try it mister, try it 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 could 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, oh yeah
You're gonna love me, yes, you are
Yes, you are

Ohh, love me, love me
Love me, love
You're gonna love
Me
