Week Of: 2009-08-08
Song: Not Going Nowhere
Artist: Babyface
Album: Playlist

Babyface will be our song of the week, mostly because I've been playing this song all day. The video is laid back but the song is fire. Having been through a divorce, I can imagine Babyface's inspiration here as he captures the challenges of separated parents.
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 dads 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 they've 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 goin' to walk away
Comes to you and I
Nothings going to change
I'm here to tell you
You don't have to be scared
I'm not going nowhere...

It's true that I live in a whole different house
But that doesn't mean I won't come around
I'm still the best friends with your mom have no doubt
We'll still make time to hang out
I promise I won't let you down

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
Cause your daddy loves you
I'm not going nowhere
And I won't give you up
And not goin' to walk away
Comes to you and I
Nothings going to change
I'm here to tell you
You don't have to be scared
I'm not going nowhere...

I know you feel a little scared
I know you think it's not fair
And you think it's all your fault but it's not
I swear if it wasnt for you
Then things could never be so cool
So I thank you for being the one in my life
Cause you showed the both of us 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 anywhere
I'm here to tell you
You don't have to fear...
