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
