not going nowhere lyrics

I heard from your mom that you cried out last night
For a certain someone to turn on the lights
You found that someone was not by your side
And Mom had to wipe away your tears
You asked her, "Why Dad isn't here?"

She starts to tell you that Dad?s working late
You say, ?What come every day of the week??
But she answers you with, "Why? Go back to sleep"
Your heart tells you something has changed
Why they've been acting so strange

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, not gon? walk away
When it comes to you and I nothing's gonna change
I'm here to tell you, you don't have to be scared
I'm not going no, I'm not going nowhere

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

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, not gon? walk away
When it comes to you and I nothing's gonna 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

I know you feel a little scared, I know you think 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 my life
That showed both of us that we did something right

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, I?m not gon? walk away
When it comes to you and I nothing's gonna change
I'm here to tell you, you don't have to be scared

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, not gon? walk away
When it comes to you and I nothing's gonna 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
