Dreamgirls: Music From The Motion Picture soundtrack lyrics -- Love You I Do .. Jennifer Hudson


I've not met a man - quite like you.
Doin' all he can, makin' my dreams come true.
Your strong & your smart, you've taken my heart & I give you the rest of me too.
Your the perfect man for me, I love you, I do .

MMM, I love ya.

I've never felt - quite like this.
Good about myself from our very first kiss.
I'm here when you call, you've got it all and confidence like I never knew.
Your the perfect man for me , I love you I do.

You've got the charm, you simply disarm me everytime..
As long as you drive, I'm along for the ride.. Your way.

You said it before, that won't be a door thats closed to us.
I'm putting all my trust in you - Cause you, you'll always be true.

I never could've known this would be, ohhh.. you & you alone ( yeaaaah )
All for me.

I know your the best, you passed every test.
Its almost too good to be true,
You're the perfect man for me, I love you, I do.
You're the perfect man for me, I love you, I do.

Dreamgirls: Music From The Motion Picture soundtrack lyrics -- Family .. Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce Knowles,


What about what I need? (Curtis says it's the best thing for the group)
What about what's best for me? (He feels the Dreams can cross over)
What about how I feel? (But when we're famous, I'll write great things for you. Effie, do it for me)
What about me? What about me?

It's more than you
It is more than me
No matter what we are
We are a family
This dream is for all of us
This one can be real
And you can't stop us now
Because of how you feel
It's more than you
It is more than me
Whatever dreams we have
They're for the family
We're not alone anymore
Now there are others there
And that dream's big enough for all of us to share
So don't think you're going you're not going anywhere
You're staying and taking your share
And if you get afraid again
I'll be there

We're a family
Like a giant tree
Branching out toward the sky
We're a family
We're so much more than just you and I
We're a family
Like a giant tree
Going stronger going wiser
We're going free
We need you
We're a family

Dreamgirls: Music From The Motion Picture soundtrack lyrics -- It's All Over .. Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce


(C.C.)
Effie, Curtis was supposed to...

(Effie)
Love me! Curtis was supposed to love me!

(Curtis)
There you are, Effie. I've been looking all over.

(Effie)
I turn my back and find myself out on the line.
You could have warned me but that would have been too kind.

(Curtis)
I've been warning you for months to clean up your act.
You've be late, you've been mean, giving all kinds of bullshit flack.

(Effie)
That's a lie! That's a lie! It's just I haven't been feeling that well.

(Curtis)
Effie, please. Stop excusing yourself.
You've been late; you've been mean and getting fatter all the time.

(Effie)
Now you're lying! You're lying! I've never been so thin.
You're lying! You're lying 'cause you're knocking off that piece
Who thinks she's better than everybody.
She ain't better than anybody. She ain't nothing but common.

(Deena)
Now who you calling common you self-indulgent, self-absorbed nonprofessional?

(Effie)
You! I'm calling you; I'm calling you the common piece he's knocking off!

(Deena)
Now you listen to me, Miss Blame-It-On-The-World.
See, I've put up with you for much to long. I have put up with your
Bitching. I've put up with your nagging and all your screaming too!

(Lorrell)
Oh, now when are you two gonna stop all this fighting?

(Effie)
Stay out of this, Lorrell! This is between Deena and me.

(Lorrell)
Yeah? Well, it's between me too.
I'm as much a part of this group as anybody else and I'm tired.
Effie, I'm tired of all the problems you're making us.

(Effie)
I always knew you two were together.

(Lorrell)
What?

(Effie)
I always knew you two were ganging up on me.

(Deena)
She had nothing to do with this change. It was you.
It was you always thinking of you, always thinking of you.

(Curtis)
I knew you were trouble from the start.

(Effie)
Trouble?

(Curtis)
You were real bad trouble from the start...

(Effie)
Curtis I'm your woman

(Curtis)
But you're getting out now. I'm not building this group to have you tear it apart.
Go ahead and rant and scream and shout.
Don't worry baby, I'll buy you out.

(Effie)
There's no money dirty enough to buy me out. You remember that, Curtis.

(C.C.)
Lay off, Effie. Just take the money and run.

(Effie)
You in this with them, C.C.?

(C.C.)
Cool it, Effie. This time you know what you've done.

(Effie)
So they bought your black ass too, huh?

(C.C.)
I said cool it, Effie. This time you've gone too far.

(Effie)
Oh I can go further. I can go further.

(Michelle)
I don't want to stay around this. I'm just breaking into this business.
This is between all of you. This is none of my affair.

(Effie)
Yeah? Well, it's between you too now, lil' sister.
This snow job is as much your sin. Look at me. Look at me.
How much did you put out to get in?

(Michelle)
Now you watch your mouth, watch your mouth Miss Effie White,
'cause I don't take that tone from some second-rate dive who can't sustain.

(Effie)
I'm not feeling well. I got pain.
(Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle)
Effie, we all got pain.

(Effie)
Oh for seven years I sung with you. I was your sister.

(Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle)
You were our trouble.

(Effie)
And now your telling me it's all over?

(Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle)
And now we're telling you it's all over.

(Effie)
And now I'm telling you I ain't going.

(Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle)
It's all over.

(Effie)
I ain't going.

(Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle)
It's all over.


Dreamgirls: Music From The Motion Picture soundtrack lyrics -- And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going .. Jennifer Hudson


[Effie]
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
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm 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, oohh ooh mm mm
You're gonna love me

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

Darlin' there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see there's just no way, there's no way

Please don't go away from me
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay, stay and hold me
Stay, stay and hold me
Please stay and hold me
Miss her bad, try and miss her, try and miss her
I know, I know, I know you can

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 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 living without you
Oh, 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, and you
You're gonna love me

You're gonna love me, yes you are
Ooh ooh love me, ooh ooh ooh love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me

You're gonna love me
