Dreamgirls Musical Soundtrack Lyrics
It's All Over
Clarence.
There you are, Effie, I've been lookin' all over.
Effie.
I turn my back, and find myself out on the line. You could've warned me but that
would've been too kind.
Clarence.
I've been warning you since Chicago to clean up your act
You've been late, you've
been mean, giving all kinds of bullshit flack.
Effie.
That's a lie, that's a lie. It's just I haven't been feeling that well.
Clarence.
Effie, please, stop excusing yourself. You've been late, You've been mean, and
getting fatter all the time.
Effie.
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.
Deena.
Now who you think you're calling common, you're self indulgent, self-absorbed
and unprofessional.
Effie.
You! I'm calling you, I'm calling you that common piece is knocking off.
Deena.
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!
Lorrell.
OOOH, when are you two going to stop all this fighting!?
Effie.
Stay out of this Lorrell, this is between Deena & me.
Lorrell.
Yeah! 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.
Effie.
I always knew you two worked together!
Lorrell.
What!
Effie.
I always knew you two were ganging up on me!
Curtis.
And now watch your tone don't blame it all around
Lorrell.
That's alright, Jimmy. I can handle that
Curtis.
She had nothing to do with this change, it was you.
You always thinking of you. All you can do is ring and ring
You think your star is a king
But wake up baby, your star is a spare
Curtis.
I know you were a trouble from the start.
You were a real bad trouble from the start
Will you get it out now
I'm not building this group to have to tear it apart, go ahead, rat,
scream and shout.
Don't worry baby, I'll buy you out.
Effie.
There's no money dirty enough to buy me out
Clarence.
Lay off, Effie, now take the money and run.
Effie.
You in this CC ?!
Clarence.
Cool it, Effie, this time you know what you done.
Effie.
So they've punched your black ass too, huh?
Clarence.
I said, cool it, Effie. This time you've gone too far.
Effie.
Boy, I can go further. I can go further!
Clarence
I don't want to stay around this, I'm just breakin' in to this business.
This is
between all of you. Now this is none of my affair.
Effie.
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?
Clarence.
Now, you watch your mouth, watch your mouth Ms. Effie White
Cause I don't take
that tone from no second-rate diva, who can't sustain.
Effie.
I'm not feelin' well, I got pain.
ALL.
Effie, we all got pain.
Effie.
All those years I was with you, I was a sister.
ALL.
You were a trouble.
Effie.
And now you're telling me, it's all over.
ALL.
And now we're telling you, it's all over.
Effie.
And now, I'm telling you, I ain't goin'.
ALL.
It's all over.
Effie.
I ain't goin'.
ALL.
It's all over...
