Lyrics

While all the time that I was loving you You were busy loving yourself I would stop breathing if you told me to Now you're busy loving someone else 11 years out of my life Besides the kids, I have nothing to show Wasted my years, a fool of a wife I should have left your ass long time ago Well, I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' shed no tears No I'm not gon' cry It's not the time 'Cause you're not worth my tears Can't do it Well, I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' shed no tears No I'm not gon' cry It's not the time 'Cause you're not worth my tears I was your lover and your secretary Working every day of the week Was at the job when no one else was there Helping you get on your feet 11 years of sacrifice And you can leave me at the drop of a dime Swallowed my fears, stood by your side I should've left your ass a thousand times Well, I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' shed no tears No I'm not gon' cry It's not the time 'Cause you're not worth my tears Remember what I said I said all Well, I'm not gon cry I'm not gon cry I'm not gon shed no tears I'm not gonna cry no more No I'm not gon' cry It's not the time 'Cause you're not worth my tears I know there are no guarantees In love you take your chances But somehow it seems unfair to me Look at the circumstances Through sickness and health 'Til death do us part Those were the words that we said from our heart So now when you say that you're leaving me I don't get that part I was your lover and your secretary Working every day of the week Was at the job when no one else was there Helping you get on your feet 11 years of sacrifice And you can leave me at the drop of a dime Swallowed my fears, stood by your side I should've left your ass a thousand times Well, I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' shed no tears No I'm not gon' cry It's not the time 'Cause you were never worth my tears Well, I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' shed no tears No I'm not gon' cry It's not the time 'Cause you were never worth my tears Well, I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' shed no tears No I'm not gon' cry It's not the time 'Cause you're not worth my tears
