And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going Lyrics

[Chorus]
And I am tellin' 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 livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm stayin', I'm stayin'
And you, and you
You're gonna love me
You're gonna love me

And I am tellin' you I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way
There's no way

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And time and time
We've had so much to share
No, no, no, no, no, no
I'm not waking up tomorrow mornin', ha-ha
And findin' that there's nobody there

[Chorus]
Darlin', there's no way
No, no, no, no way
I'm livin' without you
I'm not livin' without ya
You see, there's just no way
There's no way

[Bridge]
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 ya
There's no way I will

[Chorus]
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 livin' without you, oh
I'm not livin' without ya
Not livin' without ya
I don't wanna be free
I'm stayin', I'm stayin'
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me
Yeah, hey, hey
You're gonna love me
Yes, you are
Ooh, ooh, love me
Ooh, ooh, oo-ooh, love me

[Outro]
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
You're gonna love me
