Don't tel l me to stop
Tell the rai n not to drop
Tell the win d not to blow
'Cause you said so, mmm
Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up th is time, no, no
Let it fal l 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
[first time:] But please don't tel l me to stop
[all other times:] But don't ever tell me to stop
Tell the lea ves not to turn
But don't ever tel l me I'll learn, no, no
Take the blac k off a crow
But don't tell me I have to go
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mou th of a grave, yeah
Not to star e 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
[first time:] But please don't te ll me to stop
[all other times:] But don't ever te ll me to stop
[chorus, prefixing 1st and 3rd lines with 'Don't you ever']
(Don't you ever)
Please don't
Please don't
Please don't tel l me to stop
(Don't you ever)
Don't you ever
Don't ever tel l me to stop
(Tell the rain not to drop)
Tell the bed not to lay
Like a open mou th of a grave, yeah
Not to star e up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
