Don’t tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
Cause you said so

Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time
Let it fall by the way
But don't leave me where I lay down

Tell me love isn’t true
It’s just something that we do
Tell me everything I’m not
But please don’t tell me to stop

Tell the leaves not to turn
But don’t ever tell me I’ll learn
Take the black off a crow
But don’t tell me I have to go

Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees

Tell me love isn’t true
It’s just something that we do
Tell me everything I’m not
But don’t ever tell me to stop

Don't you ever tell me love isn’t true
It’s just something that we do
Don't you ever tell me everything I’m not
But don’t ever tell me to stop

Don't you ever
please don't please don't don't tell me
don't ever tell me to stop

Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
