You'll Never Get Away from Me

by Audra McDonald

Lyrics
Herbie, why don't you get angry outside
Instead of letting it settle in your stomach?

If I ever let loose, it'll end with me picking up and walking

You'll never get away from me
You can climb the tallest tree
I'll be there somehow
True, you could say "Hey, here's your hat"
But a little thing like that
Couldn't stop me now
I couldn't get away from you
Even if you told me to
So go on and try
Just try and you're gonna see

How you're gonna not at all

Get away from me

What is it? What do you want? There are better agents

Not for me

Weaker men

Not for me

Then what?

You, Herbie. Just help me like you've been helping. Just let me
Get June's name up in lights so big it'll last my whole life

Rose, would you expect

I'll get it. And after I get it, I will marry you. I even
Promised to keep my promise. Oh, Herbie, I don't want to upset
Anything before the audition tomorrow, including your stomach

Ah, Rose
Rose, I love you
But don't count your chickens

Come dance with me

I warn you
That I'm no Boy Scout

Relax a while
Come dance with me

So don't think
That I'm easy pickin'

The music's so nice

Rose, 'cause I just may someday
Pick up and pack out

Oh no you won't, no, not a chance
No argument, shut up and dance

You'll never get away from me
You can climb the tallest tree
I'll be there somehow
True, you could say "Hey, here's your hat"
But a little thing like that
Couldn't stop me now

I couldn't get away from you
Even if I wanted to

Well, go on and try
Just try

Ah, Rose

And you're gonna see

Ah, Rose

How you're gonna not at all
Get away from me
