Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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, oh
You're gonna love me
[Verse 3]
And I am telling you I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showin'
There's just no way, there's no way
[Verse 4]
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have a same mind
And time and time, we've had so much share
No, no, no, no, no way
I'm not wakin' up tomorrow morning
And findin' that there's nobody there
[Verse 5]
Darling, there's now way
No, no, no no way I'm livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
You see, there's just no way, there's no way
[Verse 6]
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
Please stay and hold me, Mister Man
Try it mister, try it mister
I know, I know, I know you can
[Verse 7]
Tear down the mountain, yell, scream and shout
You can say what you want, I'm not walkin' out
Stop all the rivers, push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you, there's no way I will
[Verse 8]
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, no way
No, no, no no way I'm livin' without you
Oh, I'm not livin' without you, 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, 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
