Oh, I think we should say what happens before I start singing. This is the big number where Effie, the lead character of Dreamgirls, realizes the man she has staked everything on, has seduced and truly abandoned her.

And I am telling you I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
And there's no way I could ever go
No, no, no, no way
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, yeah you
You're gonna love me
Yes
You're gonna love me
Yes you are

And I am telling you, uh
Oh I'm not going, yes no
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 yeah
We both have the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time
We've had so much to share
Oh no no no uh
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there's nobody there

Darling, there's no way
No, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
Not living without you
'Cause there's no way
There's no way

Please don't go away from me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay, stay and hold me, aaaah
Stay, stay and hold me
Please stay and hold me, Mr. Man
Try it, mister
Try it, mister
I know, I know, I know you can

He leaves her.

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'm just telling you
I'm not going, oh no
You're the best man I could ever know
And there's no way I could ever go
No, no, no, no way
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
You're gonna love me
Yeah, yes
You're gonna love me
Yes you are

Ooh love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
You're gonna love me

And that's "I Am Telling You I'm Not Going".
