Don't Tell Me
Don't tell me to stopTell the rain not to dropTell the wind not to blow'Cause you said so, mmm
Tell the sun not to shineNot to get up this time, no, noLet it fall by the wayBut don't leave me where I lay down
Tell me love isn't trueIt's just something that we doTell me everything I'm not[first time:] But please don't tell me to stop[all other times:] But don't ever tell me to stop
Tell the leaves not to turnBut don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, noTake the black off a crowBut don't tell me I have to go
Tell the bed not to layLike the open mouth of a grave, yeahNot to stare up at meLike a calf down on its knees
Tell me love isn't trueIt's just something that we doTell me everything I'm not[first time:] But please don't tell me to stop[all other times:] But don't ever tell me to stop[chorus, prefixing 1st and 3rd lines with "Don't you ever"]
(Don't you ever)Please don'tPlease don'tPlease don't tell me to stop
(Don't you ever)Don't you everDon't ever tell me to stop
(Tell the rain not to drop)Tell the bed not to layLike a open mouth of a grave, yeahNot to stare up at meLike a calf down on its knees
