[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
