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
