'Cause you sa id so, mmm
T ell the sun not to shine
Not to get up th is time, no, no
L et it fal l by the way
But don't leave me where I lay do wn
Te ll me love isn't true
It's just s omething that we do
Te ll me everything I'm not

[all other times:] But don't ever tell me to stop
T ell the lea ves not to turn
But don't ever tel l me I'll learn, no, no
T ake the blac k off a crow
But don't t ell me I have to go
T ell the bed not to lay
Like the open mou th of a grave, yeah
N ot to star e up at me
Like a c alf down on its knees
Te ll me love isn't true
It's just s omething that we do
Te ll me everything I'm not
[first time:] But please d on't te ll me to stop
[all other times:] But d on't ever te ll me to stop
[chorus, prefixing 1st and 3rd lines with 'Don't you ever']
(Don't you ever)
Pl ease don't
Please don't
Pl ease don't tel l me to stop
(Don't you ever)
Do n't you ever
Do n't ever tel l me to stop
(Tell the rain not to dro p)
Tell the bed not to lay
Like a open mou th of a grave, yeah
N ot to star e up at me
Like a c alf down on its knees
