| Don't tell me to stop | |
| Tell the rain not to drop, | |
| Tell the wind not to blow | |
| Cause you said so; | |
| 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 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 | |
| But 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 |
