Not Going Nowhere

[Verse 1]

I heard from your mom that you cried out last night

For a certain someone to turn on the lights

When you found that someone was not by your side

Your mom had to wipe away your tears

You asked her why dad isn't here

When she starts to tell you dad's working late

You say, "How come every day of the week?"

And she answers you with, "Go back to sleep"

Your heart tells you something has changed

Why have they been acting so strange?

[Chorus]

Well, I'm here to tell you, you don't have to fear

'Cause your daddy loves you, I'm not going nowhere

And I won't give you up, and not gon' walk away

Comes to you and I, nothing's going to change

I'm here to tell you, you don't have to be scared

I'm not going no, I'm not going nowhere

[Verse 2]

It's true that I live in a whole different house

But that doesn't mean that I won't come around

I'm still best of friends with your mom, have no doubt

We'll still make time to hang out

I promise I won't let you down

Well, I've got a room with your name on the door

Your favorite things you could ever ask for

Then best of all if you cry out at night

I'll be the one by your side

Someone to help dry your eyes

[Chorus]

Well, I'm here to tell you, you don't have to fear, oh no

'Cause your daddy loves you, I'm not going nowhere, oh no

And I won't give you up, and not gon' walk away

Comes to you and I, nothing's going to change

I'm here to tell you, you don't have to be scared

'Cause I'm not going no, I'm no going nowhere

[Bridge]

I know you feel a little scared (oh yeah)

I know you think it's not fair (no, it's not fair)

You think it's all your fault but it's not, I swear

If it wasn't for you, things could never be so cool

So I thank you for being the one in our life

That showed both of us we did something right

[Chorus]

I'm here to tell you, you don't have to fear

'Cause your daddy loves you, I'm not going nowhere

(I'm not going anywhere, no no-no-no)

And I won't give you up and not gon' walk away

Comes to you and I, nothing's going to change

I'm here to tell you, you don't have to be scared

(You don't have to be, you don't have to be scared)

[Chorus]

Well, I'm here to tell you, you don't have to fear

'Cause your daddy loves you, I'm not going nowhere

And I won't give you up and not gon' walk away

Comes to you and I, nothing's going to change

I'm here to tell you, you don't have to be scared

'Cause I'm not going no, I'm not going nowhere
