And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going
And I am telling you I'm not going
You're 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, ooh
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, I ask
Stay, stay and hold me
Won't you please stay and hold me, Mister Man
Try Mister, try Mister
I know, I know, I know, you can
Tear down the mountains
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, no, 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
Yeah
Love me, love me, love me
Love...
You're gonna love me

I heard the Jennifer Hudson version of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" this morning and was completely blown away by her soulful delivery. Makes me feel like running out and buying tix for Dreamgirls - only thing is, it ain't out yet.

January 16th, 2007 at 11:11 pm you look good in the pict beside your comment in this week's 8days :) totally support what you said! be true to yourself yea :D
January 16th, 2007 at 11:53 pm meooowww... yes so powerful that woman ay, she scares me. in a good way. maybe that's how she won the globes too... pruurrr
January 18th, 2007 at 6:42 am ok i guess.though we are a bit disappointed you can't reveal anything to us. This is great song! Great voice, and very meaningful. got to leave for school now. take care!
November 17th, 2007 at 11:20 pm yes, at times, when I read the lyrics, it really does not tell me much about any story. But when I recalled how Jennifer Hudson sang it, I felt very much the pain within her.
Guess this is what "singing out the song" means...
