Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow 'cause you said so
Mm-mm
Tell the Sun not to shine
Not to get-up this time, no, no
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 or nothing
But, please, don't tell me to stop

Tell the leaves not to turn
But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no
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, yeah
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 or nothing
But, please, don't 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 or nothing
But don't ever tell me to stop

(Don't you ever) please, don't
Please, don't
Please, don't tell me to stop
(Don't you ever) don't you ever, don't ever tell me to stop

(Tell the rain not to drop) tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf, down on its knees
