Lyrics

(One, two)
(One, two, three)
Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind don't blow
Just 'cause you said so
Tell me love ain't true
It's just something else we will do
Tell me everything I'm not
But don't tell me to stop
Tell the sun don't shine
Don't even get up this time
Let it fall by the way
Leave me right here where I lay
Tell the leaves don't turn
Just don't tell me I'm gonna learn
You might take the black off a crow
You can't tell me to go
Tell the bed don't lay
Like the mouth of a grave
Don't stare up at me like a
Like a calf on its knees
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something else we'll do
Tell me everything I'm not
But you just cannot tell me to stop
Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind don't blow
Just 'cause you, yourself, said so
Tell me love ain't true
It's just something else we do
Tell me everything I'm not
But, please, don't tell me to stop
Don't tell me to stop
Don't tell me to stop
Don't tell me to stop
Tell the wind not to blow
Just 'cause you said so
Don't tell me to go
Don't tell me to stop
