Hell No! - Danielle Brooks/Color Purple New Broadway Cast/Brenda Russell/Allee Willis/Stephen Bray

Composed by：Brenda Russell/Allee Willis/Stephen Bray

You told Harpo to beat me

I'm sorry

I love Harpo God knows I do

But I kill him dead before I let him anybody beat me

All my life I've had to fight

I had to fight my daddy

I had to fight my brothers

My cousins my uncles too

But I never never never never never never thought

I'd have to fight in my own house

I feel sorry for you to tell you the truth

You remind me of my momma

Under your husband's thumb

No you under your husband's foot

What he say goes

Why you so scared I never know

But if a man raise his hand

Hell no

Hell no

Girl child ain't safe

In a family of mens

Sick and tired old woman

Still live like a slave

Oh you better learn how to fight back

While you still alive

You show him girls can beat back that jive

'Cause when a man just don't give a damn

Hell no

Hell no

Well what'chu gonna do then

My sister's comin' to get me

I think I need a vacation up and away from here

But Harpo's your husband

You gotta stay with him

I know you love him

When that man used to touch me

He'd climb on top and start to rock me away

Lord knows I still love him

But he tried to make me mind

And I just ain't that kind

Hell no

Sometime my husband get on me so hard

It hurt me all over

But he's my husband so I just talk to my old maker

This life will soon be over heaven last always

Well what you oughta do is bash Mister's head open

And think on heaven later

You cain't stay here girl

Sister

Hell no

Hell no

Let's go

Gonna be yo rock

Gonna be yo tree

Somethin' to hold onto in your time of need

Girl you too good for that man

Tell that man

Come on take yo hand

Take my hand

Sister you got to go

Don't be no fool

Don't waste your time

Any man that hurt you ain't worth the dime

No he won't know

Till you gone

She be gone

He be gone

Sister you got to go

Girl you too good for that man

Let me tell you why

Sister
