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

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

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
(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
