Dreamgirls: It's All Over

''[C.C.]
Effie, Curtis was supposed to-

[Effie]
Love me! Curtis was supposed to love me!

[Curtis]
There you are, Effie. Ive been looking all over.

[Effie]''
I turn my back and find myself out on the line,
You could have warned me but that would have been too kind

''[Curtis]
Ive been warning you for months to clean up your act.
Youve be late, youve been mean, giving all kinds of bullshit flack.

[Effie]''
Thats a lie,
Thats a lie,
Its just I havent been feeling that well

''[Curtis]
Effie, please. Stop excusing yourself.
Youve been late; youve been mean and getting fatter all the time.

[Effie]''
Now youre lying
Youre lying
Ive never been so thin

Youre lying
Youre lying
Cause youre knocking off that piece who thinks shes better than everybody
She aint better than anybody,
She aint nothing but common

''[Deena]''
Now who you calling common you self-indulgent,
Self-absorbed nonprofessional?

''[Effie]''
You
Im calling you,
Im calling you the common piece hes knocking off

''[Deena]''
Now you listen to me, Miss Blame-It-On-The-World,
See, Ive put up with you for much to long
I have put up with your bitching,
Ive put up with your nagging and all your screaming too

''[Lorrell]''
Oh, now when are you two gonna stop all this fighting?

''[Effie]
Stay out of this, Lorrell! This is between Deena and me.''

''[Lorrell]''
Yeah? Well, its between me too
Im as much a part of this group as anybody else and Im tired
Effie, Im tired
Of all the problems youre making us.

''[Effie]''
I always knew you two were together

''[Lorrell]
What!?''

''[Effie]''
I always knew you two were ganging up on me

''[Deena]''
She had nothing to do with this change, it was you
It was you always thinking of you,
Always thinking of you.

''[Curtis]''
I knew you were trouble from the start

''[Effie]
Trouble?''

''[Curtis]''
You were real bad trouble from the start,

''[Effie]
Curtis Im your woman!''

''[Curtis]''
But youre getting out now,
Im not building this group to have you tear it apart
Go ahead and scream and shout,
Dont worry baby, Ill buy you out

''[Effie]
Theres no money dirty enough to buy me out. You remember that, Curtis.''

''[C.C.]''
Lay off, Effie,
Just take the money and run

''[Effie]
You in this with them, C.C.?''

''[C.C.]''
Cool it, Effie,
This time you know what youve done

''[Effie]
So they bought your black ass too, huh?''

''[C.C.]''
I said cool it, Effie,
This time youve gone too far.

''[Effie]
Oh I can go further. I can go further.''

''[Michelle]''
I dont want to stay around this,
Im just breaking into this business
This is between all of you,
This is none of my affair.

''[Effie]
Yeah? Well, its between you too now, lil sister.''
This snow job is as much your sin,
Look at me,
Look at me,
How much did you put out to get in?

''[Michelle]''
Now you watch your mouth,
Watch your mouth Miss Effie White,
Cause I dont take that tone from some second-rate diva,
Who cant sustain

''[Effie]''
Im not feeling well,
I got pain

''[Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle]''
Effie, we all got pain

''[Effie]''
Oh for seven years I sung with you,
I was your sister

''[Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle]''
You were our trouble

''[Effie]''
And now your telling me
Its all over?

''[Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle]''
And now were telling you its all over

''[Effie]''
And now Im telling you I aint going

''[Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle]''
Its all over

''[Effie]''
I aint going

''[Deena, Curtis, C.C., Lorrell, Michelle]''
Its all over
