[Verse 1] Tell me that I wouldn't do it Now I'm doing things that you said I wouldn't Go ahead and turn your back No, I ain't got time for that Do what you want when you want to It don't affect the world, go on You know I'm nothing like no other Oh yeah, oh yeah... You think you could be without me? You think you could love without me? You think you could (censored) without me? Oh nah nah nah... you better think twice before you choose I know sometimes I turn around And I know sometimes I may change my mind But this time I'm doing me time And boy this is the new me, and I ain't... [Chorus] I ain't going nowhere (be without me, be without me) [8x] I ain't going nowhere [Verse 2] Thought you would want to do it Thought you loved me better, but of course you blew it Boy it ain't too much to ask Would you rather make it hard instead. Goddamn I need a break from the drama You don't respect a real woman You're only causing me problems Oh yeah, oh yeah... You think you could be without me? You think you could live without me? You think you'd be the same without me? Oh nah nah nah... you better think twice before you choose I know sometimes I may give in And I know you may take advantage of it But this time I'm doing me time See boy this is the new me, and I ain't... [Chorus] I ain't going nowhere (be without me, be without me) [8x] I ain't going nowhere I ain't going nowhere (be without me, be without me) (Be without me, be without me) [7x]
