Don't tell me to stop   Tell the rain not to drop   Tell the wind not to blow   'Cause he said so      Tell me love isn't true   It's just something we do   Tell me everything I'm not   Don't tell me to stop      Tell the sun not to shine   Not to get up this time   Let it fall by the way   Leave me where I lay      Tell the leaves not to turn   Don't tell me, I'll learn   Take the black off a crow   But don't tell me to go      Tell the bed not to lay   Like the mouth of a grave   Not to stare up at me   Like a calf on its knees      Tell me love isn't true   It's just something we do   Tell me everything I'm not   But don't tell me to stop      Tell me everything I'm not   Don't tell me to stop
