We need you
We're a family

Effie, Curtis was supposed to..
LOVE ME.
Curtis was SUPPOSED to love me.
There you are, Effie, I've been lookin' ALL over.
I turn my back, and find myself out on the line. You could've
warned me but that would've been TOO kind.
I've been warning you for MONTHS to clean up your act, you've
been late, you've been mean, you've been all kind of bullshit
flack.
That's a lie, that's a LIE. It's just I haven't been feeling
that well.
Effie, please, stop excusing yourself. You've been late, You've
been mean, and getting fatter all the time.
Now you're lyin', you're lyin'. I've never been so thin, you're
lyin', you're lyin' cause you're knockin' off that piece of
thinks-shes-better-than-everybody, she ain't better than
anybody. She ain't nothin' but COMMON.
Now who you think you're calling common, you're self indulgent,
self-absorbed and unprofessional.
YOU! I'm calling you, I'm calling you a common piece of --.
Now you listen to me Ms. Blame-it-on-the-world, see I put up
with you for much too long. I have put up with your bitchin', I
put up with your naggin', and ALL your screamin' too!

Stay out of this Lorrell, this is between Deena ＆ me.
NAH! This is between me too, I'm as much a part of this group as
anybody else. And I'm TIRED, Effie, I'm TIRED of all the
problems you're makin' us.
I ALWAYS knew you two worked together!
WHAT!
I always knew you two were ganging up on me!
She had nothing to do with this change, it was you. It was YOU
always thinking of you. Always thinking of you.
You were a trouble from the start？
TROUBLE？!
You were a real bad trouble from the start
CURTIS, I'm your woman!
Now, Now, I'm not building this group to have to tear it apart,
go ahead ＆ cry, and scream and shout. Don't worry baby, I'll buy
you out.
There's no money dirty enough to buy me out, you remember that,
Curtis.
Lay off, Effie, just take the money ＆ run.
You in this CC ？!
Cool it, Effie, this time you know what you done.
So they got your black ass too, huh？
I said, cool it, Effie. This time you've gone too far.
Boy, I can go further. I can GO further!
I don't wanna stay around this, I'm just breakin' in to this
buisness. This is between all of you. This is none of my affair.
Yeah, well it's between you too now lil' sista. This new job is
as much your sin. Look at me, look at me. How much did YOU put
out to get in？
Now, you watch your mouth, watch your mouth Ms. Effie White

sustaine.

17.Listen
Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But can't complete
Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release
Oh,
the time has come
for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen....
Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh,
Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
Sooo long ago
Ohh I'm free now and my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your arms
All cause you won't
Listen...
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be movin on
If you don't....
If you won't....
LISTEN!!!...
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But I will complete
Oh,
Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice, you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
my ownn...
18.Hard To Say Goodbye
Ladies and gentlemen, in their farewell performance, the
incredible Dreams
We didn't make forever.
We each got to go our seperate way,
And now we're standing here, helpless,
Looking for something to say.
We've been together a long time.
We never thought it would end.
We were always so close to each other;
You were always my friend.
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love.
Hard to see you cry, my love.
Hard to open up that door.
You're not sure what you're going for.
I didn't want this to happen,
But we shouldn't feel sad.
We had a good life together.
Just remember, remember, all the times we had.
It's not that I don't love you deeply
You were my family
It's just that I'm feeling there's so much more
Waiting out there for you and me.
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love.
Hard to see you cry, my love.
Hard to open up that door.
You're not sure what you're going for.
You'll know I'll always love you.
You'll know I'll always care.
And no matter how far I may go,
In my thoughts,
You'll always be there.
(It's so hard) hard to say good-bye, my love.
(Baby, it's hard) hard to see you cry, my love.
(It's hard) hard to open up that door,
When you're not sure what you're going for.
(It's so hard.)
Good-bye my love.
(Baby, it's so hard.)
We didn't make forever.
It's so hard.
I can feel there's something more.
(When you're not sure what you're going for.)
We've got to work it,
We've got to try,
Though it's hard, so hard
We have to say good-bye
Though it's hard, so hard
We have to say
We didn't make forever.
How could we loose tomorrow？
We didn't make forever.
How could we loose tomorrow？
19.Dreamgirls(Finale)
Every man has his own special dream,
And that dream's just about to come true.
Life's not as bad it may seem,
If you open your eyes to whats in front of you.
We're your Dreamgirls, boys,
We'll make you happy.
We're your Dreamgirls, boys,
We'll always care.
We're your Dreamgirls,
Dreamgirls will never leave you.
And all you got to do is Dream (All you got to do is Dream)
All you got to do is Dream (Just dream and baby)
Just Dream and baby we'll be there,
We'll be there,
We'll be there.
We'll be......there.
20.When I First Saw You (Duet)(Duet)
When I first saw you, I said, oh my
I said, oh my, that's a dream, that's a dream
I needed a dream, when all seemed to go bad
Then I found you
And I have had the most beautiful dreams any man has ever had
When I first saw you, I said, oh my
I said, oh my, that's my dream, that's my dream
I needed a dream to make me strong
You were the only reason I've had to go on
You're my dream, all the things I ever knew
You're my dream, who could believe it could ever come true
And who could believe the world would believe in my dreams too
There comes a time when a child's got to grow
There comes a time when the woman's got to go
Mama said I am special
She said I've got to go
I'm just as good
I'm even better than
That's what you would say
Shall I need to say
Shall I need to say
I'm not gonna say
You're my dream (Now I've got dreams of my own)
All the things I could ever be (Dreams you never know)
You're my dream
They'll never take my dream from me
When I first saw you, I said, oh my, oh my
That's my dream
