Babyface - 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 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...

Its 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 goin' nowhere i wont give
You up not goin' walk away when it comes to you and i
Nothings going to change i'm here to tell you you don't
Have to be scared cause i'm not going noo... i'm not going nowhere

I know you feel a little scared i know you think its not fair
And you think its all your fault but its 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 your daddy loves you
I'm not going anywhere i'm here to tell you you don't have to fear...

  2. D.... C....

    I used to listen to this when I was young when my parents divorced. Still makes me feel some type of way 💔.

    D.... C....

  3. M.... B....

    Esse canta muito

  4. S.... M....

    I miss u daddy...rest in peace...

  5. p.... ....

    Thank You Baby face. Just Perfect.

  6. z.... 2....

    now im 12 and still crying

  7. b.... g....

    I. Like it😎😍😎😝

  8. S.... S....

    Babyfacevevo how can I get this instrumental?

  9. Z.... A....

    He sings. Good

  10. M.... S....

    i cry eveytime...I be thinkin bout my son...

  11. O.... T....

    love this guy for his honesty

  12. z.... 2....

    Every lyrics count in my life ecept my parents is enymes because my dad cheated on my grade 1 teacher

  13. z.... 2....

    Since i was seven i was looking for this song and now im 11 yrs old now this songs mean alot this lyrics is my life now im crying because my dad wasnt there for me when im was 7 my life was difficult this makes me cry and this is a basic true meaning of my life i was kicked out with my mother at 7 by my dad i see him some times but never on my birthday

    z.... 2....

    thanks guys for the likes I'm 12 now he used to sing to me with this song

    z.... 2....

  14. F.... L....

    I'm sure his boys still love this song!

    F.... L....

    They probably love Justin Bieber or Rihanna

  15. T.... S....

    Used to sing this song to my 3 babies all the time. Dionisio, Jessica & Lauryn. My reasons for breathing.💖💖💖

  16. M.... ....

    Well this is too emotional wish my daddy loved me for who am and not for what i can achieve and how successful i can be like my siblings...wish he loved me for who God created me to be but its cool mama loves me

  17. W.... ....

    had to revisit this wonderful tune again...after all its been 2 years.

  18. T.... C....

    This is a wonderful song... People don't realize that when divorce occurs the children are the one caught in the middle. The children are the victims, and so many men lose contact with their children after divorce, and that really hurts children because they sometimes feel that they did something wrong. I love this song; it sends a great message out to all fathers across the world.

  19. w.... ....

    Babyface best song!!!!

    grown ass man crying here...

  44. M.... J....

    Woe there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I didn't give birth to you and that's ok because I still loved you as If I did..Mommy misses her little man. I will see you again one day when you are able to make your own decisions. Step-parents have no rights and that is so unfair....I LOVE YOU SON..

  45. u.... ....

    Someone is always cutting onions when this song plays

  46. t.... d....

  52. R.... ....

    Just cherished all the moments that we can still have with parents. Comparing to ours, the lives of their hearts are less than 40% of ours.. Cherish and Don't take their loves for granted. :)

  53. G.... R....

    sorry to hear that.... :(

  54. S.... ....

    Damn you Tracy Edmonds for fucking up such an exemplary relationship!!!!

  59. S.... ....

    For my Boys. No amount of mediocrity will stop me from having a relationship with y'all. EVER!

  60. B.... D....

    U know, there are 3 sides to every story.
    Your moms, .
    Your dads
    and the truth.
    Although you place blame on your mom understand that there was something that pushed her to cheat on your dad.

    I am just voicing my opinion..
    more power to all of you though.

  61. d.... ....

    finnaly i get to see the mv of this song, really love this song.

    To my daughter. I need you in my life Violet Thiessen-Papillon. I want to watch you grow up, to be there for you when you need me every day, to be your dad. I dont want to loose you.

  80. t.... ....

    Wow. I had never heard this song. It is so deep and touching. More fathers should say this to their children if their relationships don't work out.

  81. h.... ....

    I wish I had this song fifteen years ago.

  82. n.... ....

    babyface forever and ever.....bring back the whip appeal!!

  83. S.... M....

    what an awesome song for a baby it like a Lullaby

  84. d.... l....

    This song it the truth i wish all dads were like that ;(

  85. d.... l....

    This is awsome

  86. E.... ....

    Beautiful song!

  87. c.... ....

    @SOULdierX93 I don't agree. He needs to work alone. He's way better when he produces and writes alone, L.A. Reid would be the only exception. It was sad when he tried to do what you suggested. He tried to work with the neptunes and other artists around 2002 and it was all bad. The only good songs from that album were the ones he made alone.

  88. D.... K....

    Babyface really sings from the heart, simply lovely...

  89. D.... M....

    man, i luv Kenny, he should come back bigger than ever! He should collaborate some of the hottest artists of today and produce a big hit and another classic!

  90. q.... ....

    @just4de3a zero dislike, nice!

  91. u.... ....

    This is a love song in its truest form

    u.... ....

    It's not a love song - it's a song for his child

  92. C.... B....

    wow.. so powerful.

  93. l.... ....

    @reesebby1994 omg sorry for your lost

  94. J.... ....

    sad song:(

  95. b.... ....

    I had never really talk to my dad, on a personal level, as often... Now I'm 30 and there are so many times I really wonder what goes through his head. This song really sends that ache and sourness to my heart but it shows how beautiful this song is... I love you dad.

  96. C.... H....

    touching song

  97. m.... ....

    This is such a beautiful, amazing song. Babyface is so awesome! Does anyone else agree though that this sounds pretty similar to Michael Jackson's 'You are my life' from his invincible album - which was also written by Babyface? They're both amazing songs!

  98. V.... O....

    This song moves me every time !!!! can help but get emotional
