Whitney Houston
Medley: I Loves You, Porgy / And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going / I Have Nothing (Live from The 21st Annual American Music Awards)
I Loves You, Porgy

I loves you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wants to stay here
With you forever, and I'd be glad

Someday, I know he's comin' back to call on me
He's gonna handle me and hold me so
It's gonna be like dyin', Porgy, deep inside me
But when he calls I know I have to go

Porgy, I's yo' woman now
I is, I is
And I ain't never goin' nowhere
'Less you shares the fun, ooh

And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going

And I am telling you I am not going
See, you're the best man I've ever known
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way
I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
See, I'm staying, I am staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me, yeah, ooh-ooh
You're gonna love me, oh, yes, ooh-oh-oh-oh

And I am telling you, I am not going
Even though the rough times are showing
See, there is just no way
There's no way

Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream, and shout
Well, you can say what you want
I'm not walkin' out

Pull back the river
Push, strike, and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will, oh, oh

And I am telling you, I am not going
See, you're the best man I'll ever know
See, there's no way I can ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way
I'm living without you
I am not living without
Sure not living without ya
Hey, I don't wanna be free
That's why I'm stayin', I'm stayin, I'm stayin', I'm stayin'
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me
Oh yes, oh yes you are, oh yes you are, hey
You're gonna love me
Ooh, ooh, love me
Ooh, ooh, love me, love me, love me
I Have Nothing

Share my love, take me for what I am
I'll never change all my colors for you (Mm)
I said, take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are, everything that you do, ooh

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

So, don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, oh-oh, yeah

You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
Ooh, I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold onto?
Babe, I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
But your love I'll remember forever

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me, no
Don't walk away from me, no
Do not walk away from me, oh, hey
I, I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you
If I don't have you
Ooh, hey, If I don't have you
