Effie White’s Gonna Win /You Are My Dream (Reprise)
[CURTIS]
Our lawyers will meet at the beginning of the week. I'm sure we can work out a solution!

[C.C.]
And just remember, Curtis
If our negotiations fail
You're gonna wind up in jail

[MARTY]
Yeah, Curtis, no more payoffs or slimy attacks!

[C.C.]
And keep your flunkies off our backs!

[MR. MORGAN, C.C. & MARTY]
Our record's movin' up!
We're movin' in!

[EFFIE]
Yeah, Curtis!
You stopped me once
But you're never gonna stop me again
'Cause this time, Effie White's gonna win!

[DEENA, spoken]
I'm leaving you, Curtis.
[CURTIS]
What are you talking about?

[DEENA]
Where do you stop?
Where do you draw the line?
You don't care about other people's dreams
Like Effie's, like mine
That's why I'm going

[CURTIS]
I love you!

[DEENA]
I'm going!

[CURTIS]
You're all I can see
I love you

[DEENA]
I'm going
And nothing you say
Nothing you do will stop me

[CURTIS]
You are my dream
[DEENA]
Curtis, I'm going to be free

[CURTIS]
You can never leave me, no!

[DEENA]
This time I'm sure

[CURTIS]
You are my dream

[DEENA]
I'm just beginning my dreams

[CURTIS]
I will never let you go

[DEENA]
I can't stay anymore

[DEENA, spoken]
I can't stay anymore.

[CURTIS]
When I first saw you
I said "Oh, my!"
[DEENA, spoken]
I'm sorry, Curtis.

[CURTIS]
You're my dream

[DEENA, spoken]
Goodbye.

[Instrumental Break]

[CURTIS]
And oh, how impossible it seems
That somehow I could destroy my dream
