I never knew no kind of flame before
I never knew a love to run up so fast
Just to run me down.
I never new a girl to take my love so strong
Just to leave me lonely come summers end.
Id gladly let the ladies pass me by
Just to save me heartache.
Dont tell me that you love me
Dont tell me that youll keep me in your heart
Dont tell me that I must be strong cause youre moving on
Just say youll love me into the dawn.
All I ever wanted was some good times.
But now its gone and grown so bad --
I need you so.
I tried to hide my love with pride
But girl you saw right through me.
Yes, you know the score.
You know the score.
If the time should come
You find that you are leaving.
If the time should come you find you must go...
Dont tell me that you love me
Dont tell me that youll keep me in youre heart
Dont tell me that I must be strong
That youre moving on
Just say youll love me into the dawn.
You dont have to school me
cause I know the time.
Youre headed back to your man.
But if I could go back with you where you are
I would stay there with you.
Then the summer ended
And the day did come when you would go
But dont you start to cry
Just hold on...
And dont tell me that you love me...
Chorus:
Dont tell me
Into the dawn
But if i, I could go back with you where you are
I would stay, I would stay there with you.
