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
chorus
tell me love isn't true
it's just something that we do
tell 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 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
chorus
chorus prefixing 1st and 3rd lines with don't you ever
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 a open mouth of a grave yeah
not to stare up at me
like a calf down on its knees
