Don't tell me to stop, tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow, 'cause you said so, mmm
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 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, 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 I'm not, 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 I'm not, 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
